This week, it was confirmed that Nigel Glover, the top (and newest) Michigan football transfer portal target remaining in the 2023 cycle, will be in Ann Arbor this weekend for an essential official visit with Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines. While this is great news for the program, which is eagerly pursuing this coveted linebacker recruit, the deal got even sweeter yesterday when Glover canceled his official visit with Michigan State football as well.

According to Justin Thind of 247 Sports, Nigel Glover has canceled his official visit with Michigan State football. This development may end up benefiting Michigan football in the long run, as they now have the opportunity to bring him on campus for a crucial official visit this weekend, which could have a significant influence over Glover and become a pivotal turning point in the Wolverines’ pursuit of this talented transfer portal defender.

Yesterday’s update revealed that there was a change in plans, and MSU will no longer be able to host this major transfer portal target this weekend, opening up the door for Michigan football to gain a valuable edge in his recruitment. Other notable teams in contention for Glover’s commitment include Kentucky, West Virginia, Illinois, and more.

The 2023 Michigan football transfer portal class is already impressive, and with this top-ranked linebacker target coming to Ann Arbor soon, it appears that Jim Harbaugh wants to make it even better. While Glover’s on-field performance in college is yet to be seen, he was a highly sought-after four-star recruit in the class of 2023 and is expected to make an impactful addition wherever he lands.
