The Michigan Wolverines added their fifth offensive lineman in the 2024 class, this time with Jake Guarnera. The 6-4, 290 pound three-star prospect picked the Wolverines over Florida, Penn State, Rutgers, and North Carolina State. 

Although Guarnera has played most of his high school career at the guard position, his recruiting evaluation suggests he will likely become a multi-year starter as a center at the collegiate level. 

Here's a quick look at his scouting report, via Andrew Ivins of 247Sports:

"A promising offensive line prospect that blends technique, feel, and power all together. Has spent much of his prep career protecting the corner, but body type and skill set suggests that he’ll probably play his best football on the inside. Measured roughly 6-foot-4, 285 pounds spring before senior season. Doesn’t carry much bad weight, which in turn makes him an effective puller as he can quickly get lateral and move people out of the way. Consistently wins with heavy hands and a robust upper half. Also will finish off assignments by rolling his hips. However, will need to keep improving in pass pro if he’s going to reach his full potential. Should be viewed as a multi-year starter in the middle that might be able to hold things down on the outside in a pinch. Will likely need some time to get adjusted to the college game, but has the makeup of a trench player that will find success in a variety of different run-blocking schemes."
