This evening, with the Michigan Wolverines less than two weeks away from their College Football Playoff bout against Alabama on January 1, 2024, a major Michigan football recruiting target announced his top-five. DJ Pickett, a five-star cornerback in the 2025 recruiting class, is down to just five schools, and Jim Harbaugh’s Wolverines made the cut alongside some notable company.

DJ Pickett is a major five-star Michigan football recruiting target in the 2025 cycle, and seeing as the 2024 class is now officially locked in (National Signing Day was this week), Jim Harbaugh and his staff can put more time into Pickett and other 2025 prospects.

On Wednesday, with Michigan football starting to prepare to board its flight to Los Angeles for the coming Rose Bowl Game (CFP), DJ Pickett dropped his official top-five schools that are still contending for his commitment. Here are the finalists for this top-ranked recruiting target:

  • Miami Hurricanes (ACC)
  • Michigan Wolverines (Big Ten)
  • Alabama Crimson Tide (SEC)
  • Georgie Bulldogs (SEC)
  • Oregon Ducks (Pac-12/Big Ten)

Per the On3 Industry Rankings, DJ Pickett is a five-star prospect out of Zephyrhills, Florida. He ranks as the No. 7 player in the country, the No. 1 recruit in the state of Florida, and the No. 1 safety in the 2025 recruiting class. Additionally, per the Recruiting Prediction Machine, Michigan is the second-most likely team to land his commitment as of the RPM’s latest update.
