2025 in-state four-star DL Bobby Kanka commits to Michigan

Mike Elston and the Michigan Wolverines just picked up their first defensive line commitment of the 2025 class in the form of in-state four-star Bobby Kanka.

The Howell native is listed at 6-foot-4 and 255 pounds. Michigan was among the first programs to offer him a scholarship, doing so back in Feb. 2022. He also gained offers from Michigan State, Penn State, Louisville, Minnesota, Tennessee, Syracuse and more.

Since being offered by Elston, Kanka has been a frequent visitor in Ann Arbor. He visited most recently for the BBQ at the Big House, but also made visits for a camp held in Ann Arbor back in June — where he took home defensive line MVP honors — a spring practice in March and the games against Penn State and Michigan State this past season.
