Michigan has added depth at wideout.
The Michigan Wolverines extended an offer to Youngstown State wide receiver C.J. Charleston earlier this week, an offer Charleston accepted on Wednesday.
Charleston announced his commitment to Michigan on social media.

The 2024 campaign will be Charleston’s fifth in college football with his most productive season thus far coming in 2023 where he had 33 receptions for 503 yards and four touchdowns.
Offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell recently explained that adding depth at receiver is a priority for Michigan. Michigan has lost multiple receivers to the transfer portal including Darrius Clemons, Karmello English, Cristian Dixon and Eamonn Dennis transferring.
“We just don’t even have numbers — You look at the roster depth, you need enough guys. Hamstring injuries are going to happen, quad injuries,” Campbell said . “We just got to make sure we have enough guy to field the roster.”
It remains to be seen what kind of role Charleston will have at Michigan, but his presence is a much needed and welcomed addition to the receiver room.
