Michigan football just had a HUGE recruiting weekend

Michigan football just got done hosting 13 prospects over the weekend, with a number of highly touted recruits in attendance. All indications are that the Wolverines absolutely knocked it out of the park, and that’s evident through predictions that have come in, combined with what recruits are saying.

The Wolverines secured a commitment over the weekend from four-star defensive lineman Owen Wafle, who recently decommitted from Notre Dame. Following that up, the Wolverines earned a commitment from rising three-star athlete Jaden Smith.

And it looks like the Wolverines are still not done. They received predictions for four-star OL Bennett Warren, four-star DL Elias Rudolph, three-star DL Deyvid Palepale, and four-star EDGE Dominic Nichols.

The race for Bennett Warren is going to go all the way to the finish line. Texas A&M and Oklahoma are fighting for his services, but the Wolverines have built up a substantial lead following his visit. The 6’8 beast will be a huge help to whatever team lands him.

Deyvid Palepale has already visited Penn State, who is the other contender for his services, so the momentum is all in Michigan’s favor. The hope is that he will make an announcement soon.

With Elias Rudolph, the weekend went as well as it could have gone. He’s scheduled to visit Ohio State next week, but some are beginning to question if he will even make the visit. That’s how good things went at Michigan. If he commits soon, it’ll be Michigan.

For Dominic Nichols, it seems like a matter of time. If he decides to commit soon, it will be to Michigan. If he is unsure and waits, however, he could see his spot taken. But for now, Michigan football leads with Wisconsin also contending.
