The 6-foot-5, 225-pound defensive end recently switched from tight end to defensive end this past offseason when Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh suggested it when Bailey attended one of his camps. Ever since the switch he has saw his recruitment spike.

"Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh suggested that the Canadaian-born athlete move to defensive end this summer. At the Rivals camp back in May, Harbaugh’s hunch was validated, as the long, athletic speed rushed overwhelmed tackles with a quick first step and a smooth hands. Bailey is raw, sure, but he also has the frame to add weight, giving him massive upside as a defensive lineman." -- Rivals Analysts Rob Cassidy, Adam Friedman and Josh Helmholdt
