Michigan football recruiting appears to be back in full swing after a small lull, kicked off with the commitment of 2025 five-star OT Andrew Babalola.
On Thursday, a bombshell hit when The Michigan Insider’s Sam Webb put in a prediction that the Wolverines would flip 2025 four-star cornerback Shamari Earls from Georgia, but since, there have been two more predictions that have come in for prospects for the maize and blue.
Starting in 2025, Michigan football has long been trending for one flip target in current NC State commit Jamar Browder. A three-star wide receiver from Lake Worth (Fla.) Santaluces Community, Browder visited Ann Arbor for the Minnesota game last month. With an official visit coming up next week for the Oregon game, 247Sports’ Steve Lorenz put in a 247Sports Crystal Ball prediction that Browder would eventually flip.
Here is how he ranks according to the recruiting services:
* | Ovr | Pos | St | |
247Sports Composite | 3 | 782 | 117 | 103 |
On3 Industry Ranking | 3 | 713 | 113 | 89 |
247Sports | 3 | – | 104 | 80 |
On3 | 3 | – | 210 | 152 |
ESPN | 3 | – | 146 | 127 |
Rivals | 3 | – | 79 | 93 |
As a junior, Browder caught 39 passes for 730 yards and 14 touchdowns. He’s listed at 6-foot-3.5 and 205 pounds.
But there’s another prospect that the Wolverines are in good shape for.
The big visit for the Week 4 game against USC was 2026 Honolulu (Hawaii) Kamehameha four-star offensive tackle Malakai Lee. Despite offers from Alabama, Nebraska, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, USC, Washington, and others, Lorenz also put in a prediction he’ll end up in Ann Arbor.
Here is how he ranks according to the recruiting services:
* | Ovr | Pos | St | |
247Sports Composite | 4 | 126 | 10 | 1 |
On3 Industry Ranking | 4 | 105 | 9 | 1 |
247Sports | 4 | 175 | 14 | 1 |

ESPN | 4 | 206 | 29 | 1 |

Michigan is set for another big recruiting weekend on Saturday with MSU coming to town for a night game.
