“When (Michigan) offered it was a great feeling of course,” Archie told The Michigan Insider following getting his offer. “I’m really blessed and grateful that I’m receiving interest from all these amazing schools this early. My goals are to just stay focused and keep up the work. It really means a lot that a big-time school like that is looking at me. It gives me a drive to do bigger and better things.
“Very interested. I love the way they use their linebackers especially Jarbrill Peppers in the past with the linebacker hybrid/ HB look. It’s a place I hope to see very soon.”
Archie holds nearly 30 scholarship offers and from many of the nation’s top programs like Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Miami, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M, USC, West Virginia and Wisconsin among others.
