Michigan football recruiting target: Wolverines pursuing elite 5-star lineman

The Michigan Wolverines, led by Jim Harbaugh, have been making waves on the recruiting front, particularly when it comes to the high school class of 2024. The latest addition to the 2025 Michigan football recruiting target list is Armondo Blount, an exceptional 5-star defensive lineman hailing from Miami Central High School in Miami, FL. Blount is among the top 5 recruits in the country for the 2025 class and has the potential to become a standout defender for the Wolverines, provided he chooses to commit to the program.

New Michigan football recruiting target: 2025 5-star defensive lineman Armondo Blount

Armondo Blount is a highly coveted prospect, holding a composite 5-star rating and being considered an elite recruit by every service. The Michigan Wolverines are already off to a strong start in the 2025 recruiting cycle, with two 4-star defenders already committed, and they hope to add Blount to their ranks as a top-notch defensive lineman.

Blount’s impressive rankings according to the 247 Sports Composite are worth noting — he is ranked as the No. 5 recruit in the 2025 class, the No. 2 defensive lineman nationally, and the top recruit in the state of Florida. Recently, he announced on Twitter that Michigan football had offered him a scholarship, putting them among the major programs vying for his commitment. The Wolverines are competing with the likes of Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, Georgia, Florida, and many more.

While the focus of the staff is primarily on the 2024 Michigan football recruiting class, which currently boasts 14 commitments and ranks as the nation’s top class, they are also diligently pursuing top prospects in the 2025 class. Bryce Underwood, the top-rated quarterback in next year’s class, and other high-caliber targets are among their priorities in this young class.
