No. 1 recruit Massa commits to Michigan

Taylor Massa (St. Johns, Mich.), the nation's No. 1 overall recruit, has given a verbal commitment to the University of Michigan. He chose Michigan over Michigan State.

Taylor Massa

"It was an extremely tough decision," Massa told the Lansing State Journal. "It was extremely hard between those two schools, but in the end I feel like Michigan had just more of the Olympic route that I was looking to pursue after college. I would like to train to become an Olympic champ some day and I can do that at Michigan."

Massa is a three-time state champion with a career record of 187-0. He won a FILA Junior National freestyle title this past spring. He projects as a 165/174-pounder in college.

Massa is the third InterMat Top 100 recruit from the Class of 2012 to commit to Michigan. He joins No. 12 Rossi Bruno (Brandon, Fla.) and No. 35 Jordan Thomas (Greenville, Mich.).
