National signing day is underway for the class of 2025. Michigan is close to a top five recruiting class, and almost everything will be official after Wednesday. There hasn’t been much in the surprise department, but there’s still time for moves to be made.
DB Jayden Sanders has yet to sign his paperwork, but it should only be a matter of time before he makes it official. TE Andrew Olesh is a different story, as he is set to make his decision on Friday with Oregon still in the hunt.
