Cheshire (CT) Cheshire Academy defensive end Jacob Smith committed to Michigan on Thursday. He picked the Wolverines over offers from Alabama, Georgia, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and USC, among others.
Copperas Cove (TX) Copperas Cove offensive tackle Michael Uini poses for a very relevant picture
The month of July is apparently a terrible time to miss a week of recruiting updates for the current class, because over 40 Michigan targets pledged to schools over the past two weeks. To break it up a little bit, I parceled the news into two separate posts: today’s offensive recruiting update and a defensive update coming tomorrow morning.
Now that Michigan has 25 commitments in the class of 2024, I thought it might be interesting to see how the class fits together. Naturally, not all of these players will stay at Michigan for four or five years, some will change positions, and some will be passed up by transfers or kids in the class of 2025 and beyond. But if you were putting together a team from this class alone, here’s how your depth chart might look:
QB: Jadyn Davis RB: Jordan Marshall, Micah Ka’apana WR: I’Marion Stewart WR: Channing Goodwin TE: Brady Prieskorn TE: Hogan Hansen LT: Andrew Sprague LG: Luke Hamilton C: Jake Guarnera RG: Ben Roebuck RT: Blake Frazier
DE: Dominic Nichols, Ted Hammond DT: Owen Wafle, Manuel Beigel NT: DE: Jerod Smith OLB: Elias Rudolph, Devon Baxter ILB: Jeremiah Beasley, Mason Curtis ILB: Jaden Smith, Cole Sullivan CB: CB: S: Jacob Oden S:
K: P: LS: Zach Ludwig
Michigan still needs to find a nose tackle and some defensive backs. Pennsylvania nose tackle Deyvid Palepale committed to USC last week after a lot of people expected him to end up at Michigan. Meanwhile, cornerback Terhyon Nichols recently pledged to Kentucky, and top-100 corner Aaron Scott’s announcement on July 30 appears to point toward a commitment to Ohio State.
Deerfield Beach (FL) Deerfield Beach defensive end Elias Rudolph committed to Michigan on Monday. He picked the Wolverines over offers from Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Ohio State, Penn State, and others.
