Michigan led the way this weekend in terms of Big Ten recruiting -- solely because the Wolverines were hosting the nation’s No. 1 ranked prospect, Rashan Gary.
The New Jersey prospect brought along his 2017 teammate Drew Singleton for the win against BYU.

Nebraska also hosted a key visitor in ESPN 300 defensive lineman Jordan Elliott for its win against Southern Miss. Elliott showed off one of the best aspects of official visits -- the cookie cake.
