Michigan football has been on a torrid pace in 2024 recruiting, but it hasn’t been a good week for the Wolverines.
Linebacker Aaron Chiles surprisingly spurned the maize and blue for Florida. His high school teammate, edge Darien Mayo, chose Clemson. Finally, cornerback Bryce West stayed home and chose Ohio State, despite heavy pursuit.
The Wolverines need a palate cleanser, and it looks like they may get one.
Hailing from Ijamsville (Maryland) Oakdale High School, Dominic Nichols is a four-star edge rusher who has five (of six) predictions indicating he’ll end up choosing Michigan football. He plans to announce his commitment to his school of choice on Sunday at 1 p.m. EDT.

According to Nichols, he’ll choose among Michigan, Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Clemson. He also had Georgia, Florida State, South Carolina and Virginia Tech in his top eight.
The 247Sports composite has Nichols listed as the No. 433 player in the country, a four-star prospect, the 28th-best edge and the No. 12 player in the state of Maryland.
