Welcome and go blue!!
February 11th, 2023 at 6:18 PM ^
Is this Partridge?
February 11th, 2023 at 6:31 PM ^
No. He visited Michigan about a month ago and apparently considered committing then. Scheduled his commitment before the Partridge rumors started going around.
February 11th, 2023 at 7:09 PM ^
Nah. Partridge is a middle aged white guy.

BUT HAVE YOU SEEN CP'S 40 TIMES???
February 11th, 2023 at 6:19 PM ^
Beat me to it but the class is rolling early and looks like it could be special.
February 11th, 2023 at 9:50 PM ^
Gotta get Jadyn Davis or another 2024 elite quarterback to commit soon so they can lead the class. If JJ will stay through 2024 we can keep on rolling. We can supplement the misses from 2023 with the portal.
February 11th, 2023 at 6:25 PM ^
You had me at hello...
February 11th, 2023 at 6:33 PM ^
Welcome to Team 146! I know it’s a long way off, but I love having a presence in a talent factory like Buford High School!〽️
February 11th, 2023 at 6:37 PM ^
Would be a huge get if he manages to stay in the class. Buford is the real deal, and one of the best high school football teams in Georgia. Everyone who’s anyone will recruit players out of there.
February 11th, 2023 at 8:35 PM ^
That’s a LONG time to hold on to an elite prospect from Georgia.
February 11th, 2023 at 11:26 PM ^
Right! Everyone celebrate and high five each other. A high school sophomore from Georgia gave a verbal commitment to Michigan.

Why shit on your programs ability to retain recruits immediately after a recruiting win? Sounds like a miserable existance.
February 11th, 2023 at 6:52 PM ^
He says he will bring "violence and leadership". 5'11, 215. Reminds me of a certain badass from a few years back.
February 11th, 2023 at 7:21 PM ^
Ah, brought in to lead the team in and out of the tunnel safely!
February 12th, 2023 at 5:22 PM ^
Teach him how to tear up the Sparty logo then turn him loose.
February 11th, 2023 at 6:58 PM ^
Yes yes yes!!!! Pile on so we keep him
February 11th, 2023 at 7:08 PM ^
Welcome, Go Blue!
February 11th, 2023 at 7:31 PM ^
25 sounds so far away
February 11th, 2023 at 8:54 PM ^
Ya this will not last lmao
February 12th, 2023 at 11:54 AM ^
C’mon dude: there’s at least a 15-20% chance
February 11th, 2023 at 9:21 PM ^
Hell yeah!!
February 11th, 2023 at 9:41 PM ^
Boom! Welcome Mantrez.
February 11th, 2023 at 10:50 PM ^
The staff has developed outstanding defenses with a relatively thin LB corps. Excited to see the potential with more elite athletes across the defense.
LFG. Go Blue!
February 12th, 2023 at 1:40 AM ^
Yep...the weakest part of the defense these past 2 championship seasons.
February 12th, 2023 at 9:28 AM ^
A verbal from a 2025 guy in early 2023 is about as exciting as a kidney stone.
Harbaugh could be in the NFL in 2025.
Let’s focus on not being out recruited by 18 teams after making it to the CFP 2 years in a row.
We’re still being out recruited by Penn State even though we kick their butt more often than not.
February 12th, 2023 at 11:07 AM ^
A) Recruiting wins only matter if they translate onto the field.
B) You are complaining about recruiting in the hello post of a guy we beat out PSU for.
February 12th, 2023 at 4:00 PM ^
more like Michigan Real-ass, amirite?
How are you gonna complain about a very good 2025 recruit committing and then a sentence later complain that recruiting isnt good enough?
February 12th, 2023 at 9:29 AM ^
Much like Raylen Wilson....we're just a placeholder until the big south turns up the heat.
February 12th, 2023 at 11:06 AM ^
Not necessarily. Raylen Wilson wasn’t quoted as saying “I’ve always wanted to play for Michigan”.
I guess we’ll see either way.
