Top Michigan football recruiting target sets commitment date

Gatlin Bair, known as the nation’s fastest recruit, has a unique plan ahead of him. Upon graduating in 2024, he will embark on a two-year mission before joining his future college in the 2026 season. Despite this delay, numerous football programs are eagerly vying for his exceptional talent, with Michigan being among his top choices. Today, he announced that he will make a college decision on August 5th, which is fast approaching.

Racking up impressive accolades, 247 Sports ranks Bair as the No. 36 player in the nation, the No. 9 wide receiver, and the top player in his state. His skills and potential make him a highly sought-after prospect.

Gatlin Bair leaning towards Michigan, per reports

Following a significant weekend official visit with the Michigan Wolverines last month, insiders are now predicting that Gatlin Bair is leaning towards choosing Michigan football. This development further solidifies Michigan’s position as the frontrunner in his recruitment, leaving fans excited about the prospect of Bair joining the Maize and Blue team in the future.

Since Michigan football recruiting just missed on 2024 four-star wide receiver Jordan Shipp, who committed to North Carolina, Gatlin bair is a major target for the Wolverines, perhaps more so than any remaining target in the class right now.

The five schools Gatlin Bair will choose from are: Boise State, TCU, Oregon, Nebraska, and Michigan.
