The Michigan Wolverines’ 2026 class just got a whole lot better, as four-star defensive lineman/edge McHale Blade announced his commitment to the Maize and Blue on Monday evening.
The 6-foot-4, 245-pounder hails from Chicago and plays at Simeon High School. He got his offer from Michigan last May from defensive line coach Lou Esposito, who played an instrumental part in the Wolverines getting Blade’s commitment.
Blade took his official visit to Michigan the weekend of June 6. He also took official visits to Purdue and Wisconsin.
Other than those aforementioned schools, Blade also had offers from USC, Notre Dame, Georgia, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Florida, Miami, Nebraska, and more.
