Wheel Is Up: And The SWAMP Guys Aren’t Joking – A1 Five-Star, 280-Pound RB Deontae Lawson Fully Commits to Michigan Wolverines After Rejecting Alabama, Penn State
In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through the college football world, five-star running back Deontae Lawson, widely regarded as one of the top recruits in the nation, has officially committed to the Michigan Wolverines. Lawson, a 280-pound powerhouse from the prestigious SWAMP program, made his announcement after rejecting offers from powerhouse programs like Alabama and Penn State.
The 6-foot-2, 280-pound running back has been a dominant force throughout his high school career, consistently proving himself as one of the most formidable players in the country. Known for his combination of size, speed, and agility, Lawson has been a sought-after recruit for top-tier college programs, and his commitment to Michigan is a huge win for the Wolverines.
“I chose Michigan because it’s the right place for me to grow both as a player and as a person,” Lawson said in a statement. “The coaching staff is top-notch, and I believe the Wolverines have everything I need to help me reach my full potential.”
Lawson’s decision to snub Alabama and Penn State came as a surprise to many, considering both programs had been strong contenders throughout his recruitment process. However, the Wolverines’ coaching staff, led by head coach Jim Harbaugh, made a compelling case for why Michigan was the ideal fit for the star running back.
Harbaugh expressed his excitement about Lawson’s commitment, saying, “Deontae is a once-in-a-generation talent. We are thrilled to have him join the Michigan family and look forward to seeing him make an immediate impact.”
As Michigan secures another elite recruit, Lawson’s commitment is set to strengthen the Wolverines’ already impressive recruiting class, further boosting their national title hopes in the coming years. The SWAMP guys certainly aren’t joking—Lawson’s decision is a game-changer for Michigan’s future.
