Michigan Monday: DE's Are Arriving

I told you a couple weeks ago that Defensive Ends/Edges were coming and they're starting to arrive.  The latest is Dominic Nichols who is a 2024 4-star from Maryland.  He is 6'5 and 240 pounds and joins Devon Baxter as the latest Wolverine DE commits.  


Nichols who doesn't play Nickel 😀 had offers from PSU, MSU, Wisconsin, UK, Clemson, Georgia, and others.  Michigan has 2 other Edge prospects which include Jacob Smith whose twin brother is already a commit and Elias Rudolph from Deerfield Beach, Denard's old high school.  Both could commit in the next 2 weeks. 

  • OSU over the weekend got a commitment from Bryce West one of the 2 highly ranked CB's from Ohio that Michigan was targeting.  Aaron Scott is the other, who was also was on a visit to CBus this weekend.  
  • Michigan seemed to have had a very positive visit from Gatlin Bair a very fast 4-star WR in the 2024 class.  I'm not sure how to feel about this recruitment.  Gatlin is expected to take a 2-year Mormon mission after his high school graduation.  Which would put him in the 2026 class after 2 years of very limited workouts and zero football.  It would seem it would take him at least 3 years to be in football shape and ready to contribute to Michigan Football.  
  • Former Michigan guard DeVante Jones will play pro ball again in France. 
  • 4-star Belleville LB Jeremiah Beasley will be announcing his commitment this week. Seems to be a Michigan, MSU and Mizzu decision.
  • Remember Colin Castleton? He signed a free agent contract with the Lakers. He transferred from Michigan to Florida.
