Jordan Marshall is one of the most important commits for the future of the Michigan Wolverines football program. Jim Harbaugh managed to beat out Ohio State for Marshall’s commitment, marking the first time that the Wolverines have secured a top Buckeye target from Ohio in quite some time. With Marshall now breaking into the top 45 nationally, this victory is even sweeter for the Maize and Blue, who currently boast the country’s second-best recruiting class, yet still come in above Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes.

According to the new rankings (Rivals), Jordan Marshall is a four-star running back recruit in the 2024 class, ranked as the No. 45 recruit in the country, the No. 2 running back in the class, and the No. 2 recruit in the state of Ohio.
