Michigan is hosting five 2024 recruits for official visits this weekend and one, Jerod Smith, is already a commit.
Joining Smith in Ann Arbor this weekend is his brother, Jacob Smith. Jerod Smith is projected to be an interior defensive lineman at the next level, whereas Jacob Smith is an edge rusher. The possibility of the brothers playing together at college isn’t only a potential dream scenario, but also a very possible reality.
On Friday, Brian Dohn — a 247Sports national recruiting analyst — placed a crystal ball prediction for Jacob Smith to go to Michigan.
Going into the visit weekend, his recruitment was trending toward Michigan, but Kentucky appeared to be leading for Jacob Smith. There was already a single crystal ball placed by a Kentucky insider on 247Sports for Jacob Smith to go to the Wildcats. The prediction had a confidence level of ‘7’.
It definitely means something for Dohn to place a crystal ball with a confidence level of ‘6’ on Friday when the Smith brothers are in Ann Arbor.
Smith is the 210th-ranked recruit in the 2024 cycle according to 247Sports composite. He is the third-best prospect in the state of Connecticut.
Stay tuned for any breaking news that may come this weekend.
