Michigan Wolverines

On the heels of a perfect 15-0 record and capturing the 2024 National Championship, the Michigan Wolverines are looking to capitalize on all of that success on the recruiting trail. Head coach Sherrone Moore has done a phenomenal job of rebuilding the U-M staff in the wake of Jim Harbaugh’s departure to Los Angeles, and it looks like the Wolverines are on track to sign a 2025 recruiting class that could ultimately land within the top 10 nationally.

I get that #Michigan lost a lot during the off-season, but team 145 has the chance to be special. It would be a huge mistake to overlook the reigning National Champions in 2024.〽️#GoBlue pic.twitter.com/0NdKLX6VOF
