Michigan offers a JUCO player (DT) for the first time in 27 years

Jeffrey M'Ba is a DT out of France who was once part of the class of 2019. He first got on Michigan's radar when they held a satellite camp in France and Michigan actually offered him a scholarship then (along with PSU, Maryland, MSU and more). M'Ba was supposed to transfer from France to play in the states but due to transcript/visa issues he was unable to do so. He deferred to the class of 2020 where he was committed to play for Virginia, but again transcript/visa got in the way. Eventually he made it to Independence Community College in Kansas, after which covid happened and messed up his plans again. This season he's blown up and has offers from several programs.

For Michigan to offer, they must see a path for him to get to Michigan despite coming from JUCO. And considering the route he's had to take to get there, he definitely does not seem like the typical JUCO student. He's listed at 6'6 305lbs so definitely would be a mammoth on the DL
