At the point when Apple Valley (Calif.) four-star quarterback Jayden Denegal made a trip to Ann Arbor on Wednesday, he was the last uncertain top-20 sign guest in the 2022 class.
He didn't leave that way.
Denegal, the No. 265 generally prospect and No. 19 quarterback broadly, per 247Sports' Composite rankings, tossed before Michigan's training staff toward the beginning of the day and got an offer a while later. Before the 6-foot-4, 215-pounder got back, he verbally promised to the Wolverines.
Quarterback isn't the first concern for Michigan this cycle in the wake of landing five-star J.J. McCarthy in the 2021 class, yet the Wolverines' mentors have looked as different focuses at the position have submitted somewhere else.
New Michigan quarterbacks mentor watched Denegal at a satellite camp in Redlands, Calif., recently and welcomed him to work out before Michigan's mentors.
Apple Valley mentor Kyle Godfrey realized his beginning quarterback was making a beeline for Michigan's camp last week however was astounded how rapidly his responsibility happened.
"I think his visit, and Michigan presumably becoming acquainted with Jayden for the person that he is, I'm certain sold them," Godfrey told MLive in a telephone meet. "Clearly, he's a colossal football player, yet I think when you meet Jayden, you're going to comprehend what sort of child he is and why they settled on that choice."
Godfrey said Denegal was on universities' radar even before he arrived at secondary school, yet he played in the rookie group his first year due to the profundity at quarterback before him at Apple Valley.
Godfrey was the green bean mentor at that point and said Denegal never played in the second a large portion of that season since they were driving enormous.
"The main thing that stands apart about him to me is his intensity," Godfrey said. "He's a savage rival. "There was a great deal of publicity around him to the extent the adolescent football goes. From the very first moment, he was out to contend, out to demonstrate everyone that he is however great as the promotion seems to be.
"We got things done at that level that I don't figure a ton of groups do. We were no-group; we were utilizing wristbands. We would watch the varsity games, sort of see what they did and say, 'alright, how about we go attempt this.' And he got it immediately."
Denegal procured the beginning position on varsity as a sophomore and had a solid season, driving the group to a 9-2 record while tossing for 2,260 yards and 34 scores.
Notwithstanding, he scrambled for only 14 yards as certain scouts were doubter about his physicality.
Godfrey said he entered his lesser year as a totally extraordinary player. California's fall season was deferred in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Apple Valley was restricted to only five games in the spring.
Be that as it may, Denegal shed around 10 pounds and advanced into to a greater degree a double danger, Godfrey said.
Apple Valley completed 5-0 last season, including a 49-42 triumph over a skilled Culver City group that plays two divisions above Apple Valley.

Denegal ran for four scores and 50 yards on 10 conveys that game and furthermore tossed for 155 yards and a score.
"Last year was his coming out party," Godfrey said. "Last year, he was working with a speed coach attempting to get that up, and that is helped a great deal. This year, we had explicit planned runs with quarterback counters and a few draws and things like that. He even a few escapes out of the pocket and got first downs for us. You could see that improvement, and I realize he actually needs to chip away at it a colossal sum."
In Michigan's supportive of spread offense, having a quarterback that can work RPOs (run-pass choice) is basic. Godfrey trusts Denegal fits that bill.
"I think our framework is acceptable in light of the fact that we do a smidgen everything," he said. "We run twofold close closures, we go spread, we'll toss the ball out, we'll run some RPO stuff. We blend it up.I feel that what we've arranged our children for will offer Donegal that chance to sort of comprehend that multi-framework fundamentally. He will be agreeable, I think, doing what they need him to do."
