With 19 commits and counting, the Michigan Wolverines’ 2024 recruiting class will likely be the most expansive haul in the modern era. The Maize and Blue already has a five-star quarterback, five offensive linemen and a handful of other players that are highly ranked.
The one thing sticking out if the fact they only have one defensive back. Fortunately for the Wolverines, this lone pass defender — four-star safety Jacob Oden — not only happens to be a stellar athlete in his own right, but he’s also a well-connected and vocal recruiter.
Measuring in at 6-foot-1, 188 pounds, Oden already has the build of a collegiate-level safety, and per 247Sports’ Chris Singletary, there is evidence he still has plenty of room to grow.
