Michigan football edge target sets decision date, time

Looking good for the good guys! #GoBlue

Coming out of Victors Weekend, Michigan football’s big official visit weekend that saw most of its 2024 commits make their way to campus, it doesn’t look like the Wolverines will need to wait long to get good news.

A few uncommitted prospects were also in Ann Arbor, including Ohio cornerback Aaron Scott, Texas offensive tackle Michael Uini, Michigan linebacker Jeremiah Beasley and Maryland edge Devon Baxter. The Wolverines are in good standing with all of the above (though Scott is perhaps leaning toward Ohio State). However, one plans to make his decision sooner rather than later.

Per On3’s Zach Libby, Baxter announced on his Instagram story that he will be make his college commitment on Monday night (June 19) at 8 p.m. EDT.

Hailing from Brandywine (Maryland) Gwynn Park, Baxter is a three-star prospect at No. 506 overall per the 247Sports composite. The No. 32 edge and 13th-best player in the state of Maryland, Baxter has offers from Virginia Tech, Rutgers, Boston College, Cincinnati, Duke, Maryland, Minnesota, Penn State, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and others.

Baxter plans an official visit to Virginia Tech, seen as the other school in the competition, on June 23. He has four 247Sports crystal ball predictions, all indicating he’ll don a winged helmet in college.
