Michigan five-star Damon Payne, the country’s No. 1 DT and an Ohio State target, will be committing at the end of the month. Crystal Ball predictions have him heading to Alabama. https://t.co/ROuatbjYoT

Really interesting story by @RainerSabin on the mystery of why Michigan stopped recruiting the No. 1 player in the state, Damon Payne Jr., who instead committed to Alabama. https://t.co/Sz1cKKDKv0
