Michigan football scored another big recruiting victory with the commitment of Jeremiah Beasley and here’s what it means for the Wolverines. 

The Michigan football program has a saying, “The best players from Michigan, play at Michigan.” Something to that effect and it’s what comes to mind as four-star linebacker Jeremiah Beasley, one of the best players in the state in the 2024 class, committed to the Wolverines.

It was a really solid recruiting win for Michigan football as the Wolverines beat out Michigan State and Missouri for his commitment. Beasley visited Missouri last weekend, but Michigan State always felt like the biggest threat.

At one time, Beasley was a Michigan State lean before the crystal balls and expert projections started to flip. MSU made a push at the end but Michigan football won out and here are three thoughts on what it means for the Wolverines.

Another blue-chip commitment

Beasley is ranked 319th overall by the 247 Sports Composite rankings. The linebacker is 6-foot-1, 210 pounds, and ranked sixth in the state for the 2024 class. He’s also ranked 28th among linebackers.

The Wolverines already have some linebackers committed and I really like Jaden Smith, who I think is criminally underrated. However, after missing on Aaron Chiles recently, it made landing Beasley even more important and U-M sealed the deal.

Beasley is the 15th blue-chip commitment for Michigan football in the 2024 class. That’s more than the 2023 cycle already and here’s the scouting report via 247 Sports:

"“Powerful linebacker with short-area explosion. Adequate size, but hits beyond his listed measureables. Was injured as a freshman and had a good sophomore year, but made big strides as a junior and seemed to have his explosiveness all the way back following his recovery. Has a track background and runs and moves around easily in space. Times his blitzes and shoots gaps with good acceleration. Also is a standout at running back and could fit the bill as a bigger back if a school wants to play him there. Three-down linebacker who can fit in a variety of systems.”"
