The Michigan football recruiting efforts in the 2024 cycle have been nothing short of impressive thus far — Jim Harbaugh’s Wolverines have 26 commits in the class (and counting), ranking 4th nationally and 2nd among Big Ten schools. While the class is starting to wind down a bit, the Maize and Blue are still looking to lock down a few top remaining targets, including major five-star wide receiver Ryan Wingo. Recently, Wingo named Michigan a top program in his recruitment and is reportedly giving the Wolverines “a strong look” ahead of his commitment announcement.

Michigan football recruiting earns high praise from five-star wide receiver Ryan Wingo

Ryan Wingo could be a massive get for Michigan football recruiting in the current class — as things stand right now, he would be the Wolverines’ only five-star and would come in as Michigan’s newest top-rated commit in the class. That said, Michigan has some major competition for Wingo, and it appears that the Wolverines are a bit behind in his recruitment thus far.

Still, Wingo recently broke down his top choices and gave some high praise for the Michigan football program.

“I’ve been to Michigan a few times and went to the Michigan State game last year,” Ryan Wingo said of Michigan football, per 247 Sports. “I had a good official visit and I like the recruiting class they’re bringing in. I’m close with Jadyn Davis and talk with him all the time. I sat with him at the Michigan State game last year and I knew he really liked Michigan a lot. The players have been great with me there and I love the tradition at Michigan so I’m giving them a strong look.”

Wolverines could make late push for this major 5-star target

Right now, the jewel of the 2024 Michigan football recruiting class is Jadyn Davis, one of the nation’s best quarterbacks and a top commit for the Wolverines. That said, every elite quarterback needs elite wide receivers to match, meaning Wingo has become a top priority target for the Maize and Blue down the stretch.

On top of Wingo, Michigan has already landed four-star wide receiver Channing Goodwin and appears close with four-star wide receiver Gatlin Bair. For the time being, all is well for the Wolverines on the recruiting trail and beyond. Per the 247 rankings, Wingo is a five-star recruit, ranking as the No. 7 player in the nation and the No. 2 wideout in the 2024 cycle. He claims that his commitment announcement will come on December 20th of this year.

Michigan football, Jadyn Davis, 2024 recruiting class, Providence Day, quarterback

Providence Day (NC) is now six games into the 2023 high school football season, and so far, elite Michigan football quarterback commit Jadyn Davis (2024 recruiting class) is yet to throw an interception. Last Friday, Davis and his team won yet again, improving to 5-0 on the year, with the future Wolverine posting another impressive stat line and improving his season numbers once again.

Michigan football quarterback commit continues to impress

Jadyn Davis is an elite Michigan football quarterback commit, there is no doubt about that. While Davis was once a five-star, he was recently moved down (during the spring) in the rankings to four-star status, which is something that feels likely to change if he continues to play at this level.

Jadyn Davis posts another head-turning stat line

Last Friday, ahead of his future team’s victory over Rutgers, Jadyn Davis led Providence Day High School to yet another blowout victory. Once again, Davis pitched a near-perfect ball game, further bolstering his incredible 2023 season stat line. He completed 15 of his 18 passes (over 83% completion) for a whopping 277 yards and a trio of touchdowns with no interceptions.

Per MaxPreps, Jadyn Davis is now 85 for 111 (nearly 77% completion) for 1,485 passing yards, 17 passing touchdowns, and no interceptions. Additionally, Davis has one rushing touchdown this fall.

Michigan football 2024 recruiting class is in good hands

Right now, Davis remains a four-star; however, as the future Michigan football quarterback continues to shine, expect his rankings to rise ahead of National Signing Day for the 2024 recruiting class.

Michigan football, Jordan Marshall, 2024 recruiting class

If you follow our recruiting coverage, you likely already know who I am about to talk about — elite Michigan football commit Jordan Marshall (RB), the No. 1 commit in the Wolverines’ 2024 recruiting class. Marshall, a four-star RB and the No. 2 player in the state of Ohio (On3), had himself yet another impressive game last night, breaking the 100+ yard mark on the ground for the sixth-straight game this fall.

Elite Michigan football commit Jordan Marshall goes off once again

Last night, Jordan Marshall played in his sixth high school football game of his senior season. Once again, Marshall went off, breaking the 100-yard mark and more en route to his team’s third victory of the 2023 season.

Marshall, a running back, is an elite Michigan football commit in the 2024 recruiting class and has truly been proving his insane talent level throughout the season. Last night, once again, Marshall impressed, rushing for 131 yards on 16 carries (7.9 yards per carry) and another touchdown during his team’s win. He also hauled in a pass for an additional three yards.

The 2024 recruiting class is looking good for the Wolverines

On the season, Jordan Marshall has now ran for over 100 yards and scored at least one touchdown in every game this season, which has many Michigan football fans buzzing about the future of the program.

Jordan Marshall is currently rated as a four-star commit by On3 — he ranks as the No. 31 player nationally, the No. 2 running back in his class, and the No. 2 player in the state of Ohio.

The Wolverines are one of the five remaining teams for Brian Robinson, a blue-chip edge rusher from Ohio, who is reportedly close to making a college decision. Robinson, who was once a prominent four-star Michigan football target in the 2024 recruiting class, was initially strongly leaning towards Michigan, but now it appears to be more uncertain. His commitment would be a significant and unexpected acquisition for Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines.

Four-star Michigan football target Brian Robinson close to a final call

According to recent reports, Brian Robinson is nearing a decision and aims to conclude his recruitment within the next week or so. Robinson is currently ranked as the No. 131 recruit in the 2024 recruiting class. Given that the Wolverines have recently lost a substantial amount of talent on the defensive side of the football, especially at edge rusher, Robinson could be a major addition for Jim Harbaugh.

It doesn’t appear that Robinson is favoring the Wolverines right now, although Michigan football recruiting has seen significant changes recently, so anything is possible. At one point this year, it seemed highly likely that Ann Arbor would be Robinson’s eventual destination; however, his recruitment has become much more complicated in recent months.

If Jim Harbaugh can land Robinson, it would be huge for the 2024 recruiting class

The remaining schools in contention, aside from Michigan football, are Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Penn State. According to the RPM, Robinson’s preferred landing spot right now is the Kentucky Wildcats, with the Maize and Blue firmly in contention at the No. 2 spot.

As per the On3 industry rankings, Robinson is a highly sought-after four-star Michigan football target, ranking as the No. 131 player nationally, the No. 9 edge rusher in the 2024 recruiting class, and the No. 5 player in the state of Ohio.
