ESPN released a list of five 2017 recruits who could turn heads in their final year of high school. Michigan DE commit Luiji Vilain, an Episcopal product and ESPN’s No. 102 prospect, makes the cut:
The Under Armour All-America Game selection and Michigan commitment is a rare talent. While the 6-foot-4, 238-pound Vilain has been playing football for nearly a decade, it is only his second in the United State. This year should help Vilain develop into a more confident player, which will lead to added consistency. While a natural pass-rusher, additional confidence should allow for his elite athleticism to show much more after flashing some of that as a junior.
