A five-star TE, a top target four-star LB, two top-100 four-star RBs, and flip candidates galore highlight the expected recruiting visitors for this weekend’s Michigan vs. Oregon game:
The Michigan Wolverines had a really solid showing of recruits last weekend for the rivalry game against Michigan State, and they are expecting another star-studded turnout for this weekend’s game against the No. 1 Oregon Ducks .
As always, this list is subject to change, but here is the tentative list of recruits visiting Ann Arbor this weekend.
2025 class
Four-star CB Jayden Sanders
(Commit)
Four-star OL Avery Gach
(Commit)
Four-star CB Graceson Littleton
Four-star LB Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng
Four-star DB Elijah Dotson
Four-star CB Alex Graham
Three-star WR Jamar Browder
Three-star edge Triston Abram
Three-star LB Cameron White
Unranked DL Christian Ingram
The fringe top-100 linebacker Owusu-Boateng was last in Ann Arbor for the USC game. He is the staff’s top linebacker target remaining and he plays a position of dire need — no recruit may be more important for the Wolverines this weekend than him. Michigan continues to battle Notre Dame, Texas, USC and Colorado for his commitment.
However, someone giving Owusu-Boaeteng a run for his money for the most important player on campus this weekend is Littleton, who is a top-100 cornerback that has been committed to Clemson since June. Not much is known about how real his interest is in the Wolverines, but getting on campus is enough to give me some cautious optimism.
Dotson, a Pitt commit, and Graham, a Colorado commit, were just in town last weekend for an unofficial visit. Per 247Sports’ Allen Trieu , this is an official visit for both prospects.
Browder is currently committed to NC State , but Michigan is looking to make a serious move at the 6-foot-3.5, 205-pounder. Browder also has a visit lined up to Missouri next weekend, so there is likely no rush for him to make a final decision.
White decommitted from UCF earlier this week, so he is very much in the cards for Michigan should it miss out on Owusu-Boateng. Meanwhile, Abram, an Indiana commit, was offered back in September and is among the many defensive line targets for Lou Esposito as we enter the stretch of the class.
Finally, don’t let Ingram’s unranked status fool you. The 6-foot-6, 290-pounder is being pursued by Georgia, Clemson, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, USC, Florida State , Vanderbilt, Colorado, Kentucky and more. After Michigan, he will take trips to Georgia, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. He just took a trip to Kentucky and admitted the Wildcats lead as of now.
2026 class
Five-star TE Brock Harris
Four-star QB Brady Hart
(Commit)
Four-star TE Matt Ludwig
Four-star RB Javian Osborne
Four-star RB KJ Edwards
Four-star RB Amari Latimer
Four-star OL Canon Pickett
Four-star LB Jakobe Clapper
Four-star LB Zach Weeks
Four-star S Kaiden Hall
Three-star WR Jaylen Pile
(Commit)
Three-star TE Lincoln Keyes
Three-star OL Bear McWhorter
Unranked S Adidum Aadum
It’s a big weekend for tight ends in Ann Arbor, as Michigan will be hosting three of the very best in the junior class. Harris and Ludwig both have national offer lists, so it’ll be interesting to see how the visit goes for these two. They were both on campus most recently over the summer. Meanwhile, Keyes — a Saline, Michigan native — has been to Ann Arbor many times and is also being recruited by the Alabama’s and Georgia’s of the world.
It’ll also be a big weekend for running backs, as Osborne and Latimer are all slated to be in Ann Arbor for the first time this fall. Outside of five-star Savion Hiter, who visited last week for the MSU game, Osborne may be Tony Alford’s top target in the class. He visited earlier this fall and is back for another game day. Latimer has a ton of really good offers (OSU, PSU, Georgia, Texas etc.) so this is a big weekend for the Wolverines in his recruitment.
2027 class
Five-star QB Elijah Haven
Four-star QB Peter Bourque
Four-star WR Monshun Sales
Four-star TE Holden Niemi
Unranked QB Braylen Warren
Unranked QB Zac Katz
Unranked WR Kyron Hart
Haven is not only the top-ranked quarterback in the class, but he’s also the No. 1 overall player, per 247Sports’ composite. At 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, the Baton Rogue, Louisiana native already has a national offer sheet.
Meanwhile, Bourque is a top-100 talent from Marion, Massachusetts. He may not have all the offers that Haven has, but he does have some from Penn State, Kentucky, Maryland and Syracuse, among others.
Niemi will be a top target at his position in 2027. Hailing from the nearby city of Dexter, Michigan, Niemi is an early top-50 overall player in the class on the composite. He already boasts an impressive list of other offers from Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State and more.
Warren, Katz and Hart all do not currently have offers to play at Michigan, but perhaps that will change this weekend.
2028 class
Unranked ATH Marquise Ray
The son of Michigan legend Marcus Ray will be on campus this weekend. He plays for Westerville North High School in Westerville, Ohio and is a varsity-level player as a high school freshman. He holds early offers from Kentucky, Bowling Green and UMass.
