Michigan football trending for Pennsylvania linebacker

Always fun when you have a chance to beat out a rival for a good prospect! #GoBlue

The top-ranked Michigan football 2024 recruiting class continues to make waves. The Wolverines have been offering plenty of high-end talent in recent weeks and the maize and blue have started to trend upward toward getting four-star linebacker Jeremiah Beasley who once was thought of as Michigan State bound.

Beasley isn’t the only linebacker who is trending toward landing in Ann Arbor.

Back in late April, three-star linebacker Cole Sullivan announced a final five of Duke, Michigan, Notre Dame, Stanford, and Wisconsin. Sullivan, at one time, was a Notre Dame lean, but it’s starting to look like the Pittsburgh native may be trending toward Ann Arbor.

Steve Wiltfong, the Director of Recruiting for 247Sports, put in a Crystal Ball prediction for Sullivan to land with Michigan.

Wiltfong put in a confidence level of ‘6’ out of 10 for the Wolverines to land the 6-foot-3 linebacker.

On3 shows similar sentiments as well. According to the Recruiting Prediction Machine, the Wolverines have a 78.4% chance to land Sullivan whereas Notre Dame has a 17.4% chance.

Sullivan, the Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania) Central Catholic linebacker, is ranked as the 590th recruit in the country according to the Composite rankings. He is the 55th-ranked linebacker in the 2024 class and the 16th-best prospect in the state of Pennsylvania.

In 2022, the versatile linebacker recorded 117 tackles, two sacks, and four pass breakups during his junior year of high school.

Michigan currently has two linebacker commitments for the 2024 cycle: Mason Curtis and Zach Ludwig.
