It’s been a month and a half since I did a recruiting update for the 2024 class, and in that time, a ton of offers have gone out for the next class. It would take forever to write them all up, so I will highlight a few and then just list some others.
Sammy Brown – LB – Jefferson (GA) Jefferson: Brown is a 6’2″, 215-pounder with offers from Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #1 linebacker, and #6 overall.

Spencer Fano – OT – Provo (UT) Timpview: Fano is a 6’5″, 270 lb. prospect with offers from LSU, Michigan, Oregon, and USC, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #4 offensive tackle, and #40 overall.
Sidikiba Kaba – DT – Columbus (OH) KIPP: Kaba is a 6’4″, 260 lb. prospect who was recently offered by Michigan; he also has offers from Duke, West Virginia, and several MAC schools. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star and the #150 defensive lineman. His teammate Cameron Frazier was also offered by Michigan but did not visit with Kaba.
T.J. Metcalf – S – Pinson (AL) Valley: Metcalf is a 6’1″, 180-pounder with offers from Florida State, Miami, Michigan, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #39 safety, and #468 overall.
2024

Nick Marsh – WR – River Rouge (MI) River Rouge: Marsh is a 6’3″, 195 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #11 wide receiver, and #76 overall.
Jaheim Merriweather – S – Gallatin (TN) Gallatin: Merriweather is a 6’3″, 185 lb. prospect with offers from Kentucky, Louisville, and Mississippi State, among others. UPDATE: Merriweather picked up an offer on the visit.
Luca Puccinelli – TE – Richmond (VA) Benedictine: Puccinelli is a 6’7″, 225-pounder with offers from Duke, East Carolina, and Virginia Tech. He came on his visit and left without an offer, but there’s still time for Michigan to extend an offer since he’s a 2024 recruit. Puccinelli is a 247 Sports 3-star and the #17 tight end in his class.
Peyton Woodyard – S – Bellflower (CA) St. John Bosco: Woodyard is a 6’2″, 188 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, LSU, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, and USC, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #3 safety, and #31 overall.
2025
Eli Owens – TE – Alcoa (TN) Alcoa: Owens is a 6’3″, 230 lb. prospect with an offer from Eastern Kentucky. UPDATE: He was offered by Michigan on this visit.
This is a light visit week/weekend considering a little thing called Easter, but there are still a few players making their way to campus.
2023
Brady Drogosh – QB – Warren (MI) De La Salle: Drogosh is a 6’5″, 200 lb. prospect with offers from Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, and Minnesota, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star and the #47 quarterback. He recently ran a laser-timed 4.61.
Samaje Featherstone – RB – Oakley (CA) Freedom: Featherstone is a 5’9″, 180 lb. prospect with offers from Army and FIU. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star and the #103 running back. Freedom is the alma mater of former Michigan wide receiver Giles Jackson.
Dante Moore – QB – Detroit (MI) King: Moore is a 6’3″, 195 lb. prospect with offers from Georgia, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, and others. He’s a 5-star, the #3 quarterback, and #5 overall. Michigan is not really pursuing any other quarterbacks in the 2023 class, so they have all their eggs in the Moore basket, so this is an important visit for the Wolverines. Right now the crystal ball leader is Notre Dame. UPDATE: Moore is no longer planning to visit Michigan this week.
Here is a look at who’s visiting Michigan. These visitors are actually trickling in throughout the week, not just this coming weekend.
GRAD TRANSFER
Cam Goode – DT – UCF: Originally from Washington (DC) St. John’s, Goode signed with Virginia Tech in 2018 and then ended up at UCF. Listed at 6’2″ and 315 lbs., he started three games in 2021 and made 24 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 1 interception, 4 forced fumbles, 3 pass breakups, and 4 quarterback hurries. This is an official visit.
Here I will list all of the visitors for this week/weekend. I will try to identify which ones will be here for the “spring game” and which ones will just be visiting during the week or on Sunday.
2023

*Dalton Gustwiller – DT – Dayton (OH) Kettering Fairmont: Gustwiller is a 6’5″, 270 lb. prospect with offers from Ball State, Central Michigan, UMass, and Western Michigan. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star and the #127 defensive lineman.
