It was nearly a year ago that Spartan nation rejoiced after Drake Harris had verbally committed to them. However, they're now thinking about what went wrong.

Grand Rapids Christian wide receiver, Drake Harris was one of the highest recruited players in the class of 2014. A five-star recruit by rivals.com, Harris had offers to nearly every top football program in the country. Harris had verbally committed to Michigan State in June after he was told he could play both football and basketball there. After a few months of thinking, Harris decided it'd be best to only play football, and not play basketball at the next level, despite being a top prospect on the court as well.

Harris announced on Sunday that he was officially committing to the University of Michigan via his Twitter account, leaving several people shocked by his decision. Some thought Urban Meyer would get Drake to commit to Ohio State, others thought he'd stay at Michigan State, but Michigan was one of his favorites all along. Following visits to all three schools, Michigan was his final decision.

The six-foot, four-inch junior put on a show this past season, especially on the way to Grand Rapids Christian's first state championship. Harris caught eight passes for a state finals record of 243 yards, and a touchdown. Harris also became one of twelve players in the country to eclipse 2,000 yards receiving, with 2,016 yards.

Drake Harris is now the fifth commitment in the University of Michigan's 2014 recruiting class, following a class which ranked in the top five after the 2013 signing day.
