Michigan hosted Chris Hinton, a 2019 five-star defensive end, for a visit this week.
ANN ARBOR – Michigan kicked off its summer satellite camp tour on Friday at Mercer University in Georgia.
That followed a visit to Ann Arbor this week from one of the state’s top prospects in Chris Hinton, a 2019 five-star defensive end from Greater Atlanta Christian School in Norcross, Ga.
At 6-foot-4 and 265 pounds, Hinton is the No. 2 strong-side defensive end and No. 13 player overall in the 2019 class, according to 247Sports Composite rankings, and this was his second trip to Ann Arbor. He has more than 20 offers, including Michigan, Alabama, Georgia and Stanford, and visited Ann Arbor with his younger brother Myles Hinton, a 6-6, 300-pound 2020 offensive tackle from Greater Atlanta Christian who already has an offer from Michigan.
Hinton told Scout.com that the trip allowed him to explore Michigan’s academic facilities, as well as talk to the coaching staff, and he’s very interested in the Wolverines.
"It’s second to none," he told Scout.com of Michigan’s academics. "The alumni base is amazing and supports you when you are done with football. They give you a lot of support so that you can be successful in class. Also, a Michigan degree is highly considered amongst a lot of people and businesses."
Hinton’s dad, Christopher Hinton Sr., went to Northwestern and played 13 seasons in the NFL (1983-95) as an offensive lineman.
