2025

Triston Abram – DE – St. Louis (MO) Christian Brothers: Abram is a 6’4″, 225-pounder who has been committed to Indiana. His offer list isn’t exceptional, but he’s a 3-star, the #52 edge, and #648 overall in the 2025 class. Michigan needs to replenish its edge rusher talent since Josaiah Stewart and Derrick Moore could both be off to the NFL without much proven depth behind them.

Jamar Browder – WR – Lake Worth (FL) Santaluces: Browder is a 6’3″, 205 lb. prospect who has been committed to North Carolina State. This is his second visit to Ann Arbor this season even though he’s still verbally pledged to NCSU. Browder is a 3-star, the #119 wide receiver, and #793 overall. This is an official visit.

Elijah Dotson – CB – Belleville (MI) Belleville: Dotson is committed to Pitt and has been since May, but Michigan has ramped up its efforts and is recruiting him as an “athlete” who could play offense or defense. He’s a 6’2″, 175-pounder who could play WR, CB, or S and is ranked as a 4-star, the #29 safety, and #296 overall in the 247 Composite. Dotson was at U of D Jesuit in Detroit for his first few years of high school, so he’s getting a little more attention now that he’s at the powerhouse in Belleville.

Christian Ingram – DT – Conyers (GA) Newton: Ingram is a 6’6″, 290-pounder with offers from Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, South Carolina, Vanderbilt, and others. This is an official visit to Ann Arbor, but he has other officials coming up, including to Georgia. Ingram is a 247 Sports 3-star and the #76 defensive lineman in the 2025 class.

TRANSFER PORTAL

Donaven McCulley – WR – Indiana: McCulley is a 6’5″, 203 lb. former quarterback who transitioned to receiver at Indiana. He entered the transfer portal in the off-season and was courted by Michigan, but he was convinced to rejoin Indiana’s squad. After not being a major factor early in the year (2 catches, 21 yards, 1 TD in the first five weeks), he decided to re-enter the transfer portal and is now considering Michigan again. UPDATE: McCulley visited Virginia Tech and may visit Michigan later, but did not come to Ann Arbor this weekend.
