Michigan football continuing to trend for elite 2024 edge target

Short wait to find out if he wears maize and blue! #GoBlue

Michigan football has some big-time prospects already committed to the 2024 recruiting class, but it’s looking to add more. One big name still on the board is Deerfield Beach (Florida) four-star edge rusher Elias Rudolph.

Hailing from the same high school as former Wolverines great Denard Robinson, Rudolph was long seen as an Ohio State lean before he eliminated the Buckeyes altogether. Now, Michigan appears to be in the pole position for the 6-foot-4, 205-pound edge. Following a blitz of 247Sports crystal ball predictions in the month of June, Rudolph picked up another on Sunday from a very noteworthy source.

When it comes to college football recruiting, there is perhaps no one more impeccable than 247Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong. Wiltfong predicted that when Rudolph makes his decision, he’ll pledge to the maize and blue.

Rudolph has five 247Sports crystal ball predictions, all indicating Michigan will be his school of choice. He’ll make his college choice on July 3 and will choose among the maize and blue, Pitt and Miami.
