Michigan football went all in on three Ohio-based cornerbacks in the 2024 recruiting cycle and went 0-for-3, losing out on Aaron Scott and Bryce West to Ohio State and Terhyon Nichols to Kentucky.
As a consequence, the Wolverines’ board quickly expanded and they capitalized.
The maize and blue took a look at the options and offered Purdue commitment Jo’Ziah Edmond, a three-star prospect from Nappanee (Indiana) Northwood on Tuesday, and he promptly decommitted from the Boilermakers. It didn’t take much longer for the 6-foot-1, 180-pounder to announce on Tuesday evening that he had flipped from Purdue to Michigan football.
