Five-star defensive tackle Aubrey Solomon chooses Michigan image

Aubrey Solomon went chalk on National Signing Day.

Five-star defensive tackle Aubrey Solomon put on a Michigan hat to announce his commitment to the Wolverines on ESPNU Wednesday morning. Michigan was the favorite to land the 6-3, 300 pound DT out of Lee County, Ga. despite his commitment and ensuing de-commitment over the past year.

Solomon said he chose the Wolverines because the players "talked to me like i was truly family" on his official visit and head coach Jim Harbaugh "told me if I just worked hard and was dedicated like I was in high school, I could get a starting spot."

Solomon chose Michigan over Alabama, Georgia and USC. Solomon is Michigan's second five-star prospect in the 2017 class, joining wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones.

He'll have a chance to snag a starting spot right away, as the Wolverines are losing Taco Charlton, Chris Wormley and Ryan Glasgow on the defensive line.
