Michigan finished with the No. 6 recruiting class for the 2025 cycle after landing five-star offensive lineman Ty Haywood on Wednesday to solidify its class. The Wolverines have a star-studded class coming into the fold with three five-stars signed.

Brown is the type of talent that Michigan needs to keep adding in order to secure a consistently productive pass game, even beyond Underwood and his likely three-year tenure in Ann Arbor. The Wolverines already do have one wide receiver committed in the 2026 class in three-star Jaylen Pile.

The Michigan Wolverines were fairly active in the transfer portal, adding 12 transfers on top of their stellar 2025 recruiting class. The prize of their portal haul was former Alabama five-star recruit running back Justice Haynes.

Not too long ago, one of the top 2026 prospects spurned both Michigan and Ohio State and committed to Illinois. Victor Singleton, an Ohio native, might have started a trend for Ohio recruits to go play for the Illini.
