Michigan's offer to Sanders comes a week after it offered Marvin Harrison Jr., the son of another Hall-of-Famer. A wide receiver like his dad, Harrison Jr. is the No. 16-ranked player and the second-best receiver in the class of 2021, per 247 Sports. (Sanders does not yet have a ranking.)

Harrison Jr. also has offers from the likes of Ohio State, Penn State and Florida.
