There have been few recruiting heaters like the one Sherrone Moore and the Michigan Wolverines are experiencing right now. The past couple weeks have involved more eyeball-emoji tweets than anyone can keep track of, as numerous highly ranked prospects have committed to the Wolverines, with more still on the way. Any concerns about Michigan’s recruiting look quite silly now.
The reasons for this success are plentiful (and complex), and I will not try to explain them all here. However, the combination of a young, relatable head coach, the arrival of NIL (and relatedly, the commitment of Bryce Underwood), and the changing landscape of college football has put Michigan in a place to bring in impressive classes in 2025, 2026, and for years to come.
