Can Michigan football reel in a top-flight linebacker from SEC country?

This would be a big pull! #GoBlue

Michigan football recruiting is heating up in a big way lately. Not only did the Wolverines reel in the state of Ohio’s top running back, four-star Jordan Marshall, topping rival Ohio State, but they’ve also added a four-star athlete in the class of 2023, former Notre Dame signee Brandyn Hillman, and Ohio-native offensive tackle Ben Roebuck.

They’re trending for five-star quarterback Jadyn Davis, who plans to announce at the end of March.

Perhaps somewhat under the radar in terms of announcements, 2024 LaGrange (Georgia) Troup County four-star linebacker Qua Birdsong released his top five on Friday evening. Michigan made the cut, along with UCF, Miami, Cincinnati and Arkansas.

On3 is the highest on Birdsong, rating him No. 136 overall, No. 10 among linebackers and No. 18 in Georgia.

He has offers from Notre Dame and USC. He’s listed at 6 feet, 2 inches and 195 pounds.
