Michigan football pulled something of a coup by getting 2025 Central Valley (Pennsylvania) four-star tight end Andrew Olesh to commit relatively early in the cycle. But it had to continually fend off other schools.
Though Olesh appeared to want to go to Michigan, there appeared to be outside pressure for him to end up at either Oregon or Penn State.
For a time, it appeared Olesh was going to stick with the Michigan class, but there were rumors surrounding him heading west to Oregon. Those rumors quieted when the Ducks were expected to get Linkon Cure to flip from Kansas State. However, on the opening day of the early signing period, Cure stuck with the Wildcats, and the Olesh rumors picked back up.
However, Olesh opted to go to Penn State instead.
