One of the biggest Michigan football recruiting wins under head coach Jim Harbaugh was the commitment of Jadyn Davis, who officially turned to Maize and Blue at the end of March. Despite his commitment to Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines, many programs are still pushing to flip Davis. However, the interest is not mutual.

Jadyn Davis’s commitment to Michigan football is unwavering

Jadyn Davis has been making major national headlines for Michigan football recruiting as of late. The Wolverines’ five-star quarterback commit recently earned a bid to the Elite 11 finals and has been named one of college football’s top committed recruits, among other accolades.

According to the 247 Sports composite rankings, which are the go-to rankings for college football recruiting, Davis is a five-star quarterback. He ranks as the No. 26 recruit nationally, the No. 4 quarterback in the class, and the No. 1 recruit in the state of North Carolina.

According to Davis, despite his outgoing and steadfast commitment to Jim Harbaugh‘s 2024 Michigan football recruiting class, teams are still testing the waters and looking to steal his commitment from the Wolverines.

However, Davis himself states that he is doing his best to redirect any outside interest as kindly as he can.

“I try to keep it respectful, but I tell them that I’m fully committed to the University of Michigan,” Jadyn Davis told ON3 earlier this month that. “I’ve tried to sway them to guys that I know that’s on my team that they should be looking out for. I don’t want them to have a bad taste in their mouth off interacting with me.”

“I know this is a business,” he continued. “Football works in mysterious ways. I go, ‘Look at this freshman right guard or this freshman receiver that’s going to be a dog in the future.’”

The future is bright in Ann Arbor

The Michigan football recruiting class currently holds the No. 2 ranking in the country. It has gathered an impressive 17 hard commitments, which is the highest number among all programs heading into the month of June. Jadyn Davis serves as the cornerstone of this class, and alongside other talented recruits, the Wolverines are building a future that holds the potential for a national championship run, further extending the legacy of the winningest college football program of all-time.

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.
