Michigan Wolverines news: A bunch of recruiting updates, baseball stays alive, and more

The Michigan football program got some new expert projections on Wednesday and we cover that and more in our latest Michigan Wolverines news roundup. 

It was a pretty solid day for Michigan football on the recruiting trail Wednesday and it started with news that the Michigan Wolverines were trending to flip a Notre Dame commitment.

Owen Wafe was committed to Notre Dame on Wednesday morning, but by the afternoon, he was trending hard with expert projections to commit to Michigan football after decommitting from the Irish and scheduling an official visit to Ann Arbor.

Wafle is a three-star prospect ranked No. 405 overall in the 2024 class, but he’s 6-foot-3, 290 pounds. 247 Sports lists him as an EDGE but I’m wondering if Michigan football will have other plans, knowing how much they love versatile D-lineman.

Michigan football also picked up some recent expert projections for 2024 defensive tackle Deyvid Palepale, as well as 2024 EDGE Devon Baxter. EJ Holland of The Wolverine projected both to the Wolverines.

In other recruiting news, future Michigan Wolverines starting quarterback, five-star QB Jadyn Davis, received an invite to the Elite 11 Finals in LA next month.

There was some controversy when he didn’t get an earlier invite and Air Noland of Ohio State did, but the talent of Davis is undeniable and he always going to the Elite 11. Now, it’s official.
