Today, four-star defensive back Bryce West, an elite Michigan football recruiting target in the 2024 class, announced that he is officially down to two schools and canceled his upcoming visit with the USC Trojans. This is a major development for the Wolverines, who have been pushing to pry West from Ryan Day’s grasp for quite some time now.
