On Tuesday afternoon, a major recruit announced that he has decommited from Michigan State University. Nick Marsh — a major Michigan football target — is back on the market and could be heading to Ann Arbor when the time comes. According to On3, the Wolverines are now the favorite to land Marsh (46.1%).

Nicholas “Megatron” Marsh announced on Tuesday via his Twitter that he will be re-opening his recruitment. Marsh is a major in-state Michigan football target in the 2024 class, and Harbaugh may be able to sway him back to the Wolverines.

Nick Marsh is a four-star wideout in the 2024 class, and is ranked as the No. 56 player in the nation, the No. 10 wide receiver in his class, and the No. 2 recruit in the state of Michigan. According to Marsh, the Spartans are still one of his top schools, but he would like to re-open his recruitment to other schools as well. Here is more information about Marsh from On3:

Nick Marsh made an immediate impact on the varsity level, helping River Rouge (Michigan) High School to a state championship in his freshman season. He then continued to turn heads as a sophomore and a junior, earning the nickname “Baby Megatron” because of his ability to go up and get the football like former Detroit Lions star receiver Calvin Johnson. Marsh said he loves Johnson’s game and models his after the former NFL star. “Just catching the ball and getting upfield, showing how elusive I am running the ball, and seeing how I can run in open space is really what I’m trying to work on,” Marsh told 247Sports. “I feel like I’ve proved that I can catch the ball up top, run good routes and do a lot of other things.” Away from football, Marsh enjoys playing basketball and fishing. Marsh has a 3.0-grade point average and plans on majoring in engineering in college. His mother is Yolanda Wilson, and his favorite food is pizza.

As of late, Jim Harbaugh’s Michigan Wolverines have gotten some high praise for their ability to develop offensive lineman. Over the past two seasons alone, the Michigan football offensive line has been the focal point for the Wolverines’ impressive offense, leading to two-straight Big Ten titles, CFP appearances, and back-to-back Joe Moore Awards (the first program to ever win two in a row). Now, Michigan is getting hot in the 2024 recruiting class, and the Wolverines are trending for two new four-star offensive linemen.

Michigan football trending with two new four-star offensive linemen

This week has been quite kind to the Michigan football recruiting efforts in the 2024 class, especially when it comes to the offensive line spot. After picking up two brand new four-star recruits from Ohio this week, Michigan now ranks No. 3 in the 247 Sports team rankings for the 2024 class. Michigan landed the No. 2 player in Ohio (RB) and a top-ranked Ohio offensive lineman to match.

Now, it appears as if Michigan football may pick up a few more commitments soon, as the Wolverines are trending for two new four-star offensive linemen.

Michigan recruiting trending for four-star Max Anderson

The first of the two four-star offensive linemen that Michigan football is trending for is Max Anderson from Reedy High School in Frisco, TX. Anderson stands at 6-foot-5 and weighs in at 300 pounds — his massive frame is matched with some incredible talent as well. He is rated as a four-star recruit by On3 and is ranked as the No. 209 player in the class, the No. 7 interior offensive lineman, and the No. 42 player in the state of Texas. Additionally, the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine gives Michigan football an 89.9% chance of landing his commitment.

Michigan recruiting trending for four-star Andrew Sprague

The second of the two four-star offensive linemen that Michigan football is trending with is Andrew Sprague of Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, MO. Andrew Sprague, like Max Anderson, has an impressive, college-ready frame (6-foot-8, 270 pounds) and the talent to back it up. According to On3, Andrew Sprague is a four-star offensive tackle and is ranked as the No. 142 player in the class, the No. 14 offensive tackle, and the No. 4 player in the state of Missouri. Earlier this week, he included the Michigan Wolverines in his top 10 remaining schools, which is a solid sign for Jim Harbaugh’s Michigan football coaching staff.

When it comes to the recruitment of Jadyn Davis — who the Wolverines hope to be the crown jewel of the 2024 recruiting class — it has been months of effort an uncertainty for Jim Harbaugh and his staff. Finally, at the end of this month, five-star QB Jadyn Davis will announce his commitment; hopefully, it will be for the Michigan football team.

Five-star QB Jadyn Davis sets commitment date for late-March

On March 31st, five-star QB Jadyn Davis will be announcing his commitment. Right now, the ever-talented quarterback prospect is expected to commit to Michigan football; in fact, every major recruiting outlet has thought that the announcement would have come much sooner, though thus far, Davis has maintained radio silence on the matter. Today, Davis will announce his top-5 remaining schools.

Five-star QB Jadyn Davis is one of the most sought-after recruits in the 2024 recruiting cycle. He stands around 6-foot-1, weighs in at 190 pounds, and has all of the talent in the world to match his solid frame. 247 Sports rates Davis as a five-star quarterback and ranks him as the No. 28 player in the nation, the No. 2 quarterback in his class, and the No. 1 player from North Carolina.

Davis is expected to turn Maize and Blue, though the long wait has some worried

Davis currently has six crystal balls on 247 Sports — all of which are for the Michigan football team. If that was not enough, the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine gives Michigan football a 90.3% chance of landing the immensely talented quarterback recruit.

No one is quite sure why five-star QB Jadyn Davis has not committed thus far — especially since he was in Ann Arbor last weekend and is heavily favored to wind up in the Maize and Blue — though we will all find out where he is headed soon enough. While some suspect that Davis is waiting because he is not interested in Michigan, others believe that he is just a high school student trying to weigh his options before making a life-changing choice. You decide which side of the fence you’d rather be on there.

Regardless of how you feel on the subject, Jadyn Davis will make his announcement a week from today on March 31st.

As of late, Michigan has landed a number of the nation’s best prospects, and over the past two days alone, Michigan football has pulled two top-ranked four-star recruits from the Buckeye state. Now, with nine players committed for the 2024 cycle, the Wolverines’ efforts have been paying off as they boast a top 3 recruiting class.

Of the nine commits that have picked Michigan football thus far, six are ranked as four-stars on 247 Sports; the other three are three-stars. Michigan football currently sits at No. 3 in the class rankings, only behind LSU and Georgia of the SEC.

Not only is Michigan’s class a top 3 recruiting class, but the Wolverines also boast the best class in the Big Ten, above schools like Ohio State (15), Penn State (22), and others. Here are the nine players that Michigan football has landed thus far:

  • Jordan Marshall (RB)
  • Jacob Oden (ATH)
  • Hogan Hansen (TE)
  • Mason Curtis (LB)
  • Luke Hamilton (OL)
  • Ted Hammond (DL)
