Michigan football held the BBQ at the Big House over the weekend and the early returns are positive, but there’s nothing more positive than commitments.
Though all eyes are on 2025 targets such as four-star wide receivers Andrew Marsh and Jerome Myles, 2026 is also in play. With quarterback commit Brady Hart leading the charge in that class, he got a future teammate on Sunday evening.
From Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin, 2026 cornerback Brody Jennings decided not to wait too long into the process to find his new school of choice. He made his verbal commitment to the Wolverines, making him the second pledge in the class.
