Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio shakes hands with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh at Michigan Stadium on Oct. 17.

With camp season starting in June, it becomes a heavy month for commitments around the country.

One of the month’s earliest will be in Michigan as St. Joseph defensive end Corey Malone-Hatcher will be announcing at 3:30 p.m. Thursday at his high school, he revealed tonight on Twitter.

He announced his finalists, a list that reveals his status: Michigan, Michigan State, Alabama, Ohio State, Tennessee, UCLA, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Penn State.

At 6-foot-3, 246 pounds, Malone-Hatcher is a four-star weakside defensive end ranked as the No. 17 prospect at his position and No. 247 overall on 247Sports. He is ranked as the No. 6 player in the state of Michigan by 247Sports.

The Crystal Ball projection from experts on 247Sports leans heavily toward the Wolverines.
