It’s never great to see a commit leave before the land on campus and for [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag], or any school, it hurts even more when they land at a rival campus.
Former Irish defensive end [autotag]Owen Wafle[/autotag], who was the first pledge of the 2024 class, decommitted at the end of May. It also happened to be the same day that Michigan offered the 6-foot, 2-inch and 290 pound New Jersey native.
The smoke around Wafle making the change to the Wolverines started and on Sunday he made his decision. On his official visit, Wafle made his choice, he will play for Michigan.
After a great conversation with the coaching staff and my family I am extremely excited to announce that I will be committing to The University of Michigan!!! #GoBlue @CoachMikeElston @CoachJim4UM @Coach_Minter pic.twitter.com/2VUR7DWjEx

The Irish would be worried, but they already replaced Wafle in the class with Loghan Thomas who is a significantly higher ranked prospect.
