Recruiting rankings for the class of 2025 have been updated for the final time by every platform. On3 released its list on Thursday to close it out. In addition to the players already signed, the Wolverines are also in the running to land five-star OT Ty Haywood as the Feb. 5 signing day approaches.

Below is a summary of how the rankings shook out for the Wolverines.

Notable Player Rankings

Five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood remained the No. 1 player in the country on every platform… except for Rivals, which put him at No. 3. Rivals has Underwood behind quarterbacks Keelon Russel (Alabama) and Tavien St. Clair (Ohio State). On3 gave Underwood its first ever player rating of 100.

Per On3 industry rankings, the Wolverines are welcoming six top-100 players: Underwood, five-star OT Andrew Babalola, four-star EDGE Nate Marshall, four-star safety Kainoa Winston, four-star cornerback Elijah Dotson and four-star cornerback Shamari Earls.

The Michigan passing game was nonexistent much of last season, and it wasn’t only because of poor quarterback play. The Wolverines addressed the wide receiver position in the form of four-star Andrew Marsh, four-star Jacob Washington and three-star Jamar Browder. 

Browder stands at 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, and Washington is listed at 6-foot-3, 180 pounds. 

“Marsh is the runt but he’s 6-(foot)-1 and he’s dynamic with the ball in his hands,” head coach Sherrone Moore said at the Dec. 4 signing day press conference. “I got to watch him live and he’s as good as there is in the country at the wide receiver position.”

Moore said he was focused on adding bigger bodies to the wide receiver room.

“I mean that was an emphasis for me. I really wanted to, for us, add size and length,” Moore said. “… Wanted some big buys. You’re margin for error for a quarterback – it’s just easier, right? 

“… (If) you throw high to a 6-(foot)-6 guy, it’s different than throwing high to a 5-(foot)-11 guy.”
