An outside wide receiver with some rank on it, finally. After a four-WR class in 2017 that's currently on track to be discussed with the best in Michigan history, Michigan picked up just late sleeper Ronnie Bell last year. While there was good reason to believe Bell was a legit prospect that he started delivering on as a freshman, following up a class of "Ronnie Bell and that's it" with "uh… we hope Quintel Kent is also Ronnie Bell?" was a collar-pulling situation.

Cornelius Johnson is not a six-foot guy who may be able to hack it on the outside. He's got legit size, legit rankings, legit offers, and is just generally legit. He's not a five star but if you could pick one position at which Michigan's class needed highly-recruited mid-to-high four star, it was flanker. Check.

Thanks, Central!

Note that Rivals does nothing with the Opening anymore and is usually very perfunctory about New England recruits. Their ranking was backed by no scouting. Neither is ESPN's, but we like it more.
