Michigan football hasn’t exactly gotten who it’s wanted in the 2024 recruiting cycle at the cornerback position. While the Wolverines are still working on their expanded board, with the first commitment coming from Purdue flip Jo’Ziah Edmond, they’re also turning their attention to 2025.
One future target appears to be entertaining the maize and blue as he included Michigan in his recently updated top group.
An emerging player with 19 reported offers, 2025 Atco (N.J.) Winslow Prep four-star cornerback Cameron Miller dropped his top eight on Friday afternoon, and Michigan football made the cut along with Georgia, Penn State, Wisconsin, Rutgers, Syracuse, Illinois and West Virginia.

Miller is listed by the 247Sports Composite as a four-star prospect at No. 296 overall in the 2025 recruiting cycle. The scouting report from 247Sports’ Brian Dohn:
Has verified size with ability to add more mass and strength without losing speed or elusiveness. Multi-sport profile includes sprinting events. Productive player with two-way snaps. Flashes big-play ability on offense. Can develop and play on either side of ball in college. Tracks ball well. Has very good body control. Shows physical side at corner and has closing speed. Knows how to win 50-50 balls. Is comfortable in backpedal as corner. Knows how to re-route receiver. Drives on ball well and does a nice job with body position. Reacts quickly and can get out of breaks quickly with receiver. Is willing to come up and make tackle on edge. On offense, is sure-handed and can make difficult catch look routine. Has speed to get behind defense. Knows how to set up defensive backs. Can adjust to inaccurate balls and is instinctive. Understands how to work back to quarterback. Comfortable catching ball in traffic. Can make yards after catch with slashing running style. Is slippery in open field. Has to continue to develop frame to add strength to handle physical aspect of game. Sometimes rounds routes going into breaks on offense. Can be a high-level player at Top 20 program.
Michigan has, in the past, had success in the state of New Jersey, having gotten players such as Jabrill Peppers and Rashan Gary. With Chris Partridge back on staff as the linebackers coach, the Wolverines certainly could go back to finding success plundering the Garden State.
