On Sunday, either Michigan football, Ohio State, or Oregon will be quite happy. That’s because on July 30, 2024 Springfield (Ohio) four-star cornerback Aaron Scott will have made his college commitent.
At least that’s the plan.
The Ohio native grew up a fan of the Ducks, but is being courted heavily by the Bucks, while the Wolverines press him on the notion that he can become ‘the villain’ by heading north to Ann Arbor. He’s gotten wooed by greats such as former Michigan cornerback Charles Woodson, but also by Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith — both former Heisman Trophy winners.
While all of the predictions on the recruiting sites indicate this is a home run for the in-state team, Scott says he still isn’t quite sure where he’ll end up with less than a week before he makes his announcement.
6 more days until decision day. Mann even though it’s close, still confused about where i wanna go.🤦🏽♂️🙏🏽

As noted earlier, one person told WolverinesWire that Scott had told Michigan players and commits in June he intended to come to Ann Arbor, but the nature of recruiting dictates that those decisions made in the moment don’t necessarily hold true until a signature is on the national letter of intent on signing day.
As a response to Scott’s tweet, a handful of Michigan personalities have made their desires known. See below.
