Owen Wafle Has Committed to Michigan
Oh no this guy is going to get pancaked when the punniest announcers in television are around to see it.
After a great conversation with the coaching staff and my family I am extremely excited to announce that I will be committing to The University of Michigan!!! #GoBlue @CoachMikeElston @CoachJim4UM @Coach_Minter pic.twitter.com/2VUR7DWjEx

That's the bad news. The good news is Mike Elston and Chris Partridge yoinked a four-star defensive tackle from New Jersey out of Notre Dame's class. Just about everybody with a crystal ball or the equivalent put one in for Michigan immediately after Wafle announced his decommitment from the Irish.
The takeaway from a quick group film review from when that happened was that Wafle is kind of a cross between a nose tackle and a badger, the kind of short but powerful DT prospect who will immediately get under your pads, and then bite and scratch and claw until you let him have your quarterback's leg so you can keep yours.
I'm not sure how this affects the rest of DT recruiting this cycle because Michigan already has German phenom Manuel Beigel, Ohio build-a-bear Ted Hammond, and an edge/4i-type in Jerod Smith in the class. Michigan also seemed close to landing doubles-eating NT Deyvid Palepale, and were still in it for some blue chip types. I think this is one of those situations where they weren't going to miss an opportunity on a prospect they really like, and can sort it all out later.
Alex Drain will have a full Hello this week. There is no content after the jump.
Welcome, Mr. Wafle!
Go, Blue!
Hammond, Beigel, Wafle, and Palepale is quite the interior DL class
And we already have Graham and are recruiting Mayo.
Quite an unhealthy line, if you ask me. Football needs more roughage.
They still aren't done either. Also not sure if anyone saw this but he has a little brother who is ranked in football and is already I wanna say 6 foot 4 and 225lbs. I know Rutgers offered already and he is a 2025 recruit. Projects to End it said in the article
All right, give me Ham on 5, Hold the Mayo.
MOAR breakfast foods PLZ!
All recruiting efforts should be focused on TJ Capers and Jalewis Solomon. . . .for obvious reasons.
We now have the waffle machine to pancake opponents!
Irish tears are delicious
Welcome young fella !!!
ND? seems like he should have been an MSU commit:
0-W-&-awful
...i'll downvote myself sorry
Is it pronounced like waffle or wayful?
The latter, but may the jokes and memes continue! NIL commercial idea: "Can you be Wafle of Waffles? Not when you're a Michigan DT at Waffle House."
Time to Wafle crush some fools.
I’m here for the dank Wafle memes
Sounds like Mike Elston was saving room for breakfast.
OMG SYRUPLESS
Getting Elston from ND certainly has paid dividends for us. Hope he’s happy.
Seems like a solid depth guy who I suspect will grow into a solid player in his upperclassmen years. Exactly the type of guy you want to see in a class.
Nice pick-up
would you like a Wafle with your Beigel? Yes!
Between Waffle and Bagle, opposing QBs are going to have all they can eat with our breakfast buffet D line. If they cough up the ball, Waffle may take it to the house.
And in the morning...I'm making Wafles!!
So let me get this straight, we now have a Beigel and a Wafle in this class? Looks like we have breakfast covered.
