ANN ARBOR, MI — Right now, the Michigan Wolverines are having yet another huge recruiting weekend. As we speak, the No. 1 player in Maryland (according to On3), Darien Mayo, is in Ann Arbor for his first-ever unofficial visit with the Michigan football program. If Jim Harbaugh and his staff expect to pry him away from some other Big Ten giants, such as Penn State, the time is now to make a move.

Michigan football needs to make a move on Darien Mayo as soon as possible

With a lot of major targets on visits right now (some will bleed into Sunday as well), the Michigan football program needs to act fast. For recruits like Darien Mayo, there is no better time than the present for Harbaugh and his staff to change his mind and climb into his top-choice school list.

Right now, the Recruiting Prediction Machine lists Mayo’s top-3 programs as Maryland (22.9%), Penn State (20.1%), and Virginia (11.7%). Seeing as today is Mayo’s first time in Ann Arbor, there appears to be plenty of time for Harbaugh to get Michigan football among his top choices. That being, there is a good chance that the Nittany Lions, Terrapins, and many others will be looking to get Mayo back on their own respective campuses over the spring and summer to do the same.

According to On3, Darien Mayo is a four-star EDGE prospect, and is ranked as the No. 92 player in the 2024 recruiting class, the No. 9 EDGE, and the No. 1 player in the state of Maryland. In fact, recruiting insider EJ Holland claims that Darien Mayo is one of the most important visitors for Michigan football this weekend, and has some of the biggest upside of any player in the nation.

Since the best player in Maryland is currently making a stop in Tree Town, Jim Harbaugh and his Michigan football program need to act fast and make a push for Mayo before another Big Ten program beats the Wolverines to the punch.

On Tuesday, Michigan football landed the highest rated recruit in its class so far: four-star running back Jordan Marshall, who picked the Wolverines over the Buckeyes this week. The day after, Michigan landed another four-star from Ohio: Ben Roebuck, an offensive tackle from St. Edward High School.

The Wolverines’ two commitments this week put the class up to nine commits thus far, boasting an average rating of 90.58 and totaling 165.36 recruiting points.

Not only is Michigan’s class a top 3 recruiting class, but the Wolverines also boast the best class in the Big Ten, above schools like Ohio State (15), Penn State (22), and others. Here are the nine players that Michigan football has landed thus far:

  • Jordan Marshall (RB)
  • Jacob Oden (ATH)
  • Hogan Hansen (TE)
  • Mason Curtis (LB)
  • Luke Hamilton (OL)
  • Ted Hammond (DL)
  • Ben Roebuck (OL)

ANN ARBOR, MI — As many already know, the Michigan Wolverines are starting to get red hot on the 2024 recruiting trail. Over the past 48 hours, two major four-star Ohio recruits have committed to Michigan football, and recently, the Wolverines landed another huge crystal ball for a 247 Sports four-star wide receiver recruit.

On Tuesday afternoon, 247 Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong placed a massive crystal ball for the Michigan football team. According to Wiltfong (and others), the Wolverines are set to land Channing Goodwin, a top-ranked player in North Carolina.

According to 247 Sports, Goodwin is rated as a four-star recruit and ranks as the No. 241 player in the 2024 recruiting class, the No. 38 wide receiver in his class, and the No. 7 player in the state of North Carolina. Wiltfong is not the only insider predicting Goodwin to Michigan, either; so far, Goodwin has four crystal balls, all of which are for the Michigan football program.

In addition to 247’s crystal balls, the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine gives the Michigan Wolverines a 97.3% chance of landing the four-star wideout. As Michigan continues to prove that it can successfully throw the ball and win titles, the Wolverines will keep landing some top-ranked receivers and quarterbacks; now, Michigan football needs to turn the crystal ball predictions into a full on commitment from Goodwin.

ANN ARBOR, MI — On Wednesday, the Michigan Wolverines landed yet another massive commitment. As of late, the Michigan football team has been seeing tons of great recruiting news — from major crystal balls to a series of huge commitments, Jim Harbaugh and his Wolverines are getting back on the saddle when it comes to high school recruiting. Today, Michigan landed a four-star offensive lineman from the state of Ohio.

Ben Roebuck — a four-star offensive tackle from St. Edward High School in Ohio — has committed to the Michigan football team. Roebuck is a massive offensive tackle recruit; he stands at 6-foot-7 and weighs in at 320-pounds, and is ranked as the No. 12 player in Ohio and No. 31 offensive tackle by Rivals.

Here is what the four-star lineman had to say about Michigan football and why he committed (per On3):

“It really just felt like home. I’ve been to the majority of the Big 10 schools and seen everything and the way Michigan just does it is better. They go all out for everything that they do. After being there you really understand why they’re the winningest program ever and that they’re going to keep it that way.

“I’d say I’m closest with either Coach Clink or Coach Moore. Coach Clink’s one of my favorite coaches I’ve ever met. He’s all around a great dude. Coach Moore is the one who offered me and who I committed with and he’s been on me for months now about committing and it finally paid off … I was an OSU fan growing up, but then I grew up and realized that Michigan was the place to be. Go Blue.”
