The Wolverines are building a top class for the 2024 recruiting cycle. Of the 15 commitments for the 2024 cycle, five are on the offensive line and the Wolverines still have other O-line targets.
But it’s not stopping the maize and blue from reaching out to top offensuve line targets for the 2025 or 2026 cycles. In fact, the maize and blue have been reaching out to several big-time offensive line targets in the recent weeks.
Most recently, Michigan football offered 2025 offensive tackle Jaelyn Matthews, who committed to Penn State in late January.

The 6-foot-5, 290-pound tackle hails from Toms River (New Jersey) Toms River North and is a four-star prospect according to 247Sports and the 247Sports composite. On the composite, he is the 59th-ranked recruit in the 2025 class, the seventh-best offensive tackle and the top-ranked player in the state of New Jersey.
Michigan has had success recruiting in New Jersey, and it would make sense the Wolverines would try to get the best recruit the state has to offer. But the maize and blue will have to beat Penn State to land him.
Matthews has an impressive offer sheet, including Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Ohio State and Tennessee.
