Once again, Michigan football has dipped its toes into the Ohio talent pool to land a commit.

On Wednesday morning, Jim Harbaugh's program landed a commitment from Ben Roebuck, a three-star offensive lineman from Lakewood St. Edward. This comes one day after the Wolverines got a commitment from Jordan Marshall, a four-star running back from Cincinnati Moeller who was named Ohio Gatorade Player of the Year.
