Michigan football recruiting, commitment dates

The month of June is coming to a close, and consequently, the Wolverines are getting closer to securing a number of highly-ranked prospects. Currently, the 2024 Michigan football recruiting class consists of 22 committed players and continues to grow, positioning itself as the second-best class in the country. Over the next few days, six significant targets for the Wolverines will announce their commitments. Here are the commitment dates that Maize and Blue fans should keep an eye on.

6 major Michigan football commitment dates that fans should be keeping an eye on

Michigan football recruiting is currently gaining momentum, showcasing one of the strongest classes in the nation. With a total of 22 committed players, the Wolverines are exceeding Jim Harbaugh’s previous records, as he has never secured as many commitments (16) before July 1st in his time at Ann Arbor.

Jeremiah Beasley

The initial significant Michigan football recruiting target who will announce his commitment this week is Jeremiah Beasley, a highly regarded four-star linebacker from within the state. The Wolverines have been actively pursuing Jeremiah Beasley for a considerable period, and after successfully capturing his attention away from Michigan State, they have intensified their efforts. Beasley’s commitment is scheduled for Wednesday (6/29), making it a highly anticipated day for fans of the Maize and Blue.

Michael Uini

This highly sought-after four-star offensive tackle from Texas has emerged as a significant target for Michigan football recruiting. Michael Uini’s recruitment has gained considerable momentum, with several experts predicting his commitment to the Maize and Blue. Securing Uini’s commitment would greatly enhance Michigan’s 2024 recruiting class, and his announcement is set to take place on Friday (6/30), potentially adding further strength to the Wolverines’ class.

Deyvid Palepale

Deyvid Palepale, a three-star defensive tackle from Pennsylvania, initially seemed to be leaning towards Michigan football recruiting. However, recently, Penn State has garnered significant attention and support from insiders, creating uncertainty regarding Palepale’s commitment among Wolverines fans. Palepale is scheduled to announce his decision on Saturday (July 1st), which will be a pivotal day for both the Wolverines and the Nittany Lions. It remains to be seen whether it will be a momentous day for Michigan or if Penn State will come out on top in Palepale’s recruitment.

Elias Rudolph

Michigan football recruiting has faced setbaJeremiah Beasleycks in securing top edge rusher targets for the 2024 cycle, as they missed out on both Darien Mayo and Aaron Chiles in a short span of time. However, the Wolverines did manage to secure a significant commitment from Dominic Nichols, a highly regarded four-star edge rusher. They are now poised for another potential victory with Elias Rudolph, another four-star edge rusher. Elias Rudolph is scheduled to announce his commitment on July 3rd, exactly one week from today. Wolverines fans will be eagerly awaiting the outcome, hoping for another major blue-chip addition to their class.

Aaron Scott

There is a significant likelihood that Michigan football may not secure the commitment of Aaron Scott, particularly considering that another highly rated four-star recruit, Bryce West, recently pledged to the Ohio State Buckeyes. Scott, who is ranked as the top recruit in the state of Ohio, is a coveted target for both the Buckeyes and the Wolverines. His decision is scheduled to be announced on July 4th. If, by some chance, the Wolverines manage to land Scott, it could potentially be regarded as one of Jim Harbaugh’s most significant recruiting victories during his tenure as Michigan’s head coach.

Jordan Shipp

Jordan Shipp, a highly regarded four-star wide receiver, is anticipated to join the Wolverines in the 2024 recruiting cycle. Shipp is a significant target due to his exceptional talent and skill set. However, the benefits extend beyond his individual abilities. The Wolverines have already secured commitments from two of Shipp’s teammates, namely four-star wide receiver Channing Goodwin and five-star quarterback Jadyn Davis. These familiar faces will undoubtedly enhance the chemistry within the team. Shipp’s decision date is set for July 16th, which may seem distant, but the time for his decision is approaching quickly — this is one of the most important commitment dates that the Wolverines have their eyes on.

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.
