Michigan is in the thick of its pursuit of 2021 Dallas (TX) Kimball four-star cornerback Ishmael Ibraheem.

Rated by 247Sports as the No. 100 prospect overall, regardless of position, the No. 9 cornerback and 16th-best player in the state of Texas, given his high profile, it’s not surprising that the 6-foot-1, 175-pound defensive back is being heavily recruited by some of the nation’s top programs.

The Wolverines have been consistent at trying to lure him, despite not much attention the past several years given to the talent-rich state of Texas. However, the pursuit of Ibraheem has been paying off, as Michigan made his newly-released Top 10 on Wednesday evening.

Michigan linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary, the former Texas recruiting coordinator, is on the case for the Wolverines.

The maize and blue will have a bona fide battle, however, with Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Oklahoma, Auburn, Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor and TCU also on his radar.

Back in February, 247Sports Michigan recruiting guru Steve Lorenz told WolverinesWire the following about the maize and blue’s recruitment of Ibraheem:

“Brian Jean-Mary, the new linebackers coach has deep connections to Texas and Florida — he’s got some connections, the kid has some connections to the Ann Arbor, Detroit area. I think he’ll be up for a visit at some point.

“Ibraheem a name to keep an eye on at cornerback.”
