Wolverines Trending For 5-Star Wide Receiver

Michigan football recruiting has been relatively quiet the past week or two, following a series of commitments. That all appears to be changing as Michigan gears up for its BBQ at the Big House recruiting event.

Typically, the BBQ at the Big House is geared more toward incoming junior recruits (class of 2026). However, this year, due to Michigan’s coaching changes and the late start of the 2025 class, the BBQ will feature a lot of talent from the 2025 and 2026 classes.

One of the top recruits heading to the BBQ is five-star Utah wide receiver Jerome Myles. Myles was previously committed to Ole Miss, but decommitted from the Rebels and hasn’t been the subject of any breaking news since.

That’s a little odd, because usually when a prospect of Myles’ caliber decommits from a school, a new commitment quickly follows. But that didn’t happen, which could mean Myles is looking for something other than the typical SEC program. Meet Michigan football.

The Wolverines have a huge need at wide receiver. And while the Wolverines are the favorite to sign top 100 wideout Andrew Marsh, they would definitely like to land Myles and Marsh. The two elite wide receivers are in Ann Arbor next weekend and the staff has a chance to make a big move with Myles.

Home state Utah is currently considered the favorite for Myles, but the Utes now play in a Big 12 conference that is a level below the rest of the Power 4 conferences. Michigan football offers a much better football schedule and may even have an edge in the NIL against the Utes.

Myles is expected to take official visits during the season, which means the Wolverines could have him on campus twice in the coming months. He has already officially visited Texas A&M and Utah and plans to officially visit Penn State and LSU. If Michigan can get an official visit after the BBQ, they will be in a great position with Myles.

Ron Bellamy has turned up the heat this recruiting cycle, giving the Wolverines a run with the best of the best. While it will still be a battle to win recruits like this, Michigan football is in a better position now than it has been in the past. Stay tuned for updates on Myles or other top prospects as next weekend comes and goes. Go blue!
