That\u2019s what position coach Tony Alford and the Wolverines are eyeing in the early going from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/cartae-ligon-262192\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cartae Ligon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">A native of Chillicothe, an hour south of Columbus, Ligon is reciprocating the interest as he made a visit to Ann Arbor in late March. He walked away from the experience on a significantly high note.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cMy visit to Michigan was good and the experience was amazing,\u201d Ligon told Maize n Brew. \u201cThey set the new standard for how visits should be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Alford, whose connections in the Buckeye State persevere following years as an assistant with Ohio State, is leading the charge in building a connection with Ligon. Much like what other recruits have said about Alford, his character and teachings have had an impact on Ligon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cMe and coach Alford\u2019s relationship is very good and I think he is a very good coach,\u201d Ligon said. \u201cI can definitely see myself playing for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Ligon also made sure to speak and learn from one of Michigan\u2019s running backs on the roster who also hails from Ohio. When observing practice, Ligon was impressed with the latter\u2019s showing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI loved practice and I think I would fit in perfectly,\u201d Ligon said. \u201cAll the RBs were pretty good, but Jordan Marshall stood out the most. He\u2019s electric and has crazy footwork. Definitely a RB I look up to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Plenty of other schools are recruiting Ligon just as heavy as the Wolverines, like Miami, Penn State, Oklahoma, Indiana and West Virginia. It also won\u2019t be another year until he begins taking official visits, but Michigan has certainly put itself in a valuable position because of the trip two months ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Ligon said a second visit to campus could occur this summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cThey are definitely my number one school after the visit,\u201d Ligon said. \u201cI want to see more in-depth of what I saw the first visit outside of spring practice (on future returns) and meet more of the staff.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Could a potential running back commit in the 2028 recruiting class for Michigan come from Ohio?
