Earlier this week, on Friday evening, the 2024 Michigan football recruiting class landed another commitment; this time, the Wolverines’ picked up Cole Sullivan, a three-star linebacker out of Pennsylvania. Here is everything you need to know about Jim Harbaugh’s latest pick-up.

Who is Cole Sullivan?

According to the 247 Sports composite rankings, Cole Sullivan is a highly regarded three-star composite linebacker recruit in the 2024 recruiting class. His exceptional abilities have earned him a spot among the top 600 recruits nationwide and the top 60 linebackers in the country. Furthermore, he is ranked as the 16th-best recruit in the state of Pennsylvania, showcasing his talent and promising future.

Sullivan’s commitment adds to the already impressive recruiting efforts of the Michigan football program. With the top-ranked class in the nation, the Wolverines are constructing a formidable roster for the upcoming season. Led by Jim Harbaugh, the team shows no signs of slowing down and continues to attract more recruits through summer visits and other opportunities to strengthen their recruiting endeavors.

At an impressive height of 6-foot-3 and weighing over 200 pounds, Sullivan possesses a physical presence that will undoubtedly make an impact on Michigan’s defense. Despite receiving interest from other reputable regional programs like Notre Dame and Wisconsin, Sullivan ultimately chose Michigan football, a testament to the program’s appeal and its potential for success.

Rankings and ratings for the newest member of the 2024 Michigan football recruiting class

Here is where Cole Sullivan ranks according to all three major recruiting services:

ON3: Three-star recruit; ranked No. 37 linebacker, and No. 10 recruit in Pennsylvania.

Cole Sullivan’s commitment marks Michigan’s 17th addition to the class.

Michigan football recruiting facing huge test with major five-star visitor

Michigan football is trending in a great direction with yet another five-star target.

The 2024 Michigan football recruiting efforts have been exceptional recently, securing 17 hard commits and counting. Their impressive performance has propelled them to the No. 2 spot in the composite rankings. As official visit season approaches, the Wolverines are gaining momentum, and their latest achievement is securing an official visit from highly sought-after five-star wide receiver, Ryan Wingo.

Wingo is currently ranked among the top wide receiver recruits in the nation and holds a prominent position in the 247 Sports rankings. The 2024 Michigan football recruiting class already includes an exceptional five-star quarterback commit, Jadyn Davis from North Carolina, but only has one wide receiver commit. Therefore, securing a talent like Wingo would be a significant boost for the Wolverines in this recruiting cycle.

Measuring at 6-foot-2 and weighing 190 pounds, Wingo is an impressive prospect in the 2024 recruiting class. He has caught the attention of Jim Harbaugh and his coaching staff, who consider him a priority target. While there are indications that Wingo may be leaning towards the Georgia Bulldogs, the unpredictable nature of official visits makes it difficult to determine his final decision.

His official visit is scheduled for June 9th-11th, which will be a crucial period for the Wolverines’ recruiting efforts as they will be hosting a number of top targets.

National Championship caliber expectations for the 2024 class add pressure to land five-star commits

The 2024 Michigan football recruiting class has already generated substantial hype, with some even suggesting it has the potential to compete for a national championship. Adding a player of Wingo’s caliber, an elite talent hailing from St. Louis, MO, would be yet another significant victory for Jim Harbaugh and his recruiting efforts.

To stay competitive with the best in college football, the Wolverines must continue to recruit at the highest level. So far, their progress has been promising, but they must maintain their intensity throughout the summer to retain their elite status.

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.
