2016 QB Messiah deWeaver decommits from Michigan as Jim Harbaugh sees No. 1 QB in '16 class

ANN ARBOR -- Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh wasted no time recruiting other quarterbacks to add to his 2015 class, and has done the same with 2016.

And, perhaps as a result, the Wolverines lost a pledge from 2016 signal caller Messiah deWeaver on Tuesday night.

DeWeaver committed to Brady Hoke in June, and kept his pledge through the coaching transition. Though he's been looking at other schools for some time now.

"After conversations with my family and God I am announcing that I will be reopening my recruitment and decommitting from the university of Michigan," deWeaver wrote on Twitter. "Thank you to everyone who supported me and still supports me through this decision. #GodBless."

The 6-foot-3, 202-pound deWeaver -- from Wayne High School in Dayton -- received an offer from Michigan State and Penn State shortly after Hoke was fired on Dec. 2. He ranks as the No. 14 pro style quarterback in 2016, per 247sports' composite rankings.

Meanwhile, Harbaugh continues to target some of the top quarterbacks in 2016.

He's already made contact with four-star quarterback K.J. Costello (Rancho Santa Margarita, California). Costello is the No. 2 pro style passer per Rivals, and the No. 4 QB per 247.

Additionally, Rivals.com reported Tuesday night that Harbaugh met with five-star 2016 quarterback Jacob Eason, the No. 1-ranked QB in the class and a Georgia commit.

The 6-foot-5, 205-pound Eason is the No. 4 player overall in 2016, per 247sports.

Doesn't surprise me either.

Not too upset

We lost the Messiah what ever shall we do, he was going to take us to the promise land. Think Harbauagh is looking at the tall strong arm QB's

I actually liked DeWeaver in the class.

I haven't looked too hard at the 2016 QBs but I know there are much better options than him at this point but still, I've liked what I've seen from him and was happy to have him in the class.

370+ days until 2016 NSD so we'll just have to wait and see how this plays out.

Well Harbaugh was talking to the number 1 QB, current Georgia commit yesterday so I think he has his sights set higher. It is going to be interesting to see how having 18 QB's on the roster is going to pan out.

grave digger talking or visiting the Messiah

There might be a chance he will end up signing with the Suckeyes. He is at the same high school that Braxton Miller attended.

Go Blue!!
