The Michigan Wolverines’ recruiting palooza appears to have ceased, at least for now. Their recruiting class shot up from outside the Top-30 all the way up to No. 7 in the country, according to 247Sports. This jump is in large part thanks to defensive line coach Lou Esposito and the star-studded haul he was able to bring in over the past few weeks. This haul includes Carter Meadows (nationally ranked No. 34), Titan Davis (122), Julian Walker (155), Alister Vallejo (204), and Tariq Boney (unranked).
But have there been other recruiting hauls at specific position groups in recent memory that have matched or exceeded the 2026 defensive line?
