Sunday and Monday have been outstanding days for Michigan’s 2017 recruiting class landing defensive ends Kwity Paye and Donovan Jeter.

Jeter is a four-star recruit who made recruiting headlines decommitting from Notre Dame on Oct. 18. Jeter visited Ann Arbor over the weekend leading to his commitment. The 6-5, 250 pound, end in the neighborhood of 30 offers, committed on Sunday.

Paye is an under the radar recruit out of Rhode Island’s Bishop Hendricken High School. The 6-4, 226 pound, outside linebacker/end was also a flip decommitting from Boston College. Paye’s other offers includes Navy, Rutgers, Toledo, and Syracuse.

Michigan now has the No. 11 ranked recruiting class in the nation per Rivals, No. 9 per 247Sports.
