You love to see it! #GoBlue

After going over a month since receiving a commitment, Michigan football now has two big-time pledges in a week.

One of the Wolverines’ top targets in the 2025 class, Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga four-star safety Kainoa Winston, canceled his planned official visits to Oregon and North Carolina and committed to the maize and blue on Friday afternoon. Winston officially visited Ann Arbor last weekend.

Rated the No. 43 prospect in the country, regardless of position, according to 247Sports, Winston is the highest-rated pledge the Wolverines have gotten since Will Johnson joined the maize and blue in the 2022 recruiting class.

Naturally, Michigan football coaches, media, and Wolverines fans had a lot to say about the newest member of the maize and blue. Here are some of our favorite reactions we could find on X (formerly Twitter).
