Michigan had a successful weekend after it secured the commitment from 2025 four-star defensive back Jayden Sanders. Even after losing three-star wide receiver Phillip Wright -- who left for SEC country -- the Wolverines are sitting at a better position within the team rankings. Since landing Sanders, Michigan has moved up two spots on the 247Sports Composite rankings.
The Wolverines have moved up two spots from 16th overall to No. 14 -- moving inside the top 15 classes. Michigan is now ahead of fellow Big Ten school, Penn State, but just slightly behind both Clemson and Texas.
With the Wolverines sitting 14th nationally, Michigan has the third-highest recruiting class in the Big Ten. The maize and blue are sitting behind Ohio State (No. 1) and Oregon (No. 9) as of right now.
While Michigan sits at No. 14 overall, the Wolverines are actually higher when you break down by average recruit. Michigan has an average rating of 91.70 for its recruiting class and the Wolverines are just outside of the top-10 classes at No. 11.
Michigan is hoping to add to its numbers here soon. The Wolverines are looking to add four-star receiver Andrew Marsh and the ultimate goal is to add five-star offensive lineman Andrew Babalola.
Here's Michigan's entire 2025 recruiting class as of now, along with their overall Composite ranking:
Four-star DL Nate Marshall - No. 46 overall
Four-star S Ivan Taylor - No. 54 overall
Four-star S Kainoa Winston - No. 91 overall
