While Michigan football fans lament the slow spring and summer in terms of recruiting in 2023, the 2024 class just got something of a jump start. The even better news? It comes at a position that the maize and blue have needed to shore up with elite players.
On Monday afternoon, the Wolverines got a jolt.
2024 Nashville (Tn.) Ensworth four-star Mason Curtis was offered by Michigan back in April, and has offers from schools such as Tennessee, South Carolina, Michigan State, Virginia Tech, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Kentucky, and others. Rated the No. 203 player in the country according to the 247Sports Composite, Curtis is the second-best player in the state of Tennessee in 2024 and the 14th-best linebacker in the country.
And he pledged his verbal commitment to Michigan via Twitter.
