Michigan commit confirms Michigan State football official visit, according to reports

A Michigan commit has confirmed that he will be officially visiting MSU this weekend:

Michigan State football is set to host another big weekend of official visits this upcoming weekend, and included in that list is a recruit committed to Michigan.

Howell defensive lineman Bobby Kanka is a 4-star prospect, currently committed to the University of Michigan. Although committed to the rivals, the Spartans have made a strong push to try and flip the defensive tackle prospect.

An aid to those aspirations has come through, and according to various recruiting reporters, Kanka has confirmed that he will be taking an official visit to East Lansing this weekend.

Wisconsin football working to flip a top Michigan class of 2025 commit

Wisconsin is working to flip class of 2025 Michigan Wolverines commit Bobby Kanka.

Badgers defensive line coach E.J. Whitlow traveled to Howell, Michigan last week to visit the four-star defensive lineman and extend an official offer.

Kanka committed to Michigan on August 1, 2023 — back when Jim Harbaugh was the head coach. There must be a chance for a decommitment, as rival Michigan State has an official visit set for June 14 with the top prospect and also recently traveled to his high school for an in-person visit.

The defensive lineman is 247Sports’ No. 372 player in the class of 2025, No. 41 player at his position and No. 3 recruit from the state of Michigan.

Wisconsin’s class of 2025 currently ranks No. 16 in the nation with 11 players committed. It does not have a defensive lineman currently committed, that after the program finished the 2024 cycle with several top players at the position.

The Badgers seem to be making a serious run at Kanka as he works through his recruiting options.

Michigan football gets commitment from in-state 2025 defensive tackle

Solid as they come! #GoBlue

Less than 24 hours after one Michigan football 2025 commitment publicly appeared to be waffling, the Wolverines bolstered their future class with another pledge.

Long-anticipated to join his in-state school, 2025 Howell (Mich.) four-star defensive tackle Bobby Kanka has been a frequent visitor to Ann Arbor, with the most recent being to the BBQ at the Big House over the weekend. Having been predicted for some time via the 247Sports Crystal Ball to become a Wolverine, Kanka finally pulled the trigger on Tuesday afternoon.

Announced by 247Sports’ Allen Trieu, the No. 313 player in the country per the composite rankings and 32nd-best defensive lineman committed to Michigan football.

Kanka is listed at 6-foot-4, 255 pounds and has offers from Kansas, Louisville, Michigan State, Penn State, Tennessee, and others.

At the moment, he’s the third commitment for the maize and blue in 2025 with cornerback Chris Ewald and linebacker Mantrez Walker both currently pledged.

4-star defensive lineman Bobby Kanka schedules visit to Tennessee

Four-star defensive lineman Bobby Kanka will take his first visit to Tennessee this spring. Kanka is a top-300 prospect in the class of 2025.

Four-star defensive lineman Bobby Kanka announced he plans to visit Tennessee on March 25, according to Allen Trieu of 247Sports. It will be Kanka’s first visit to Tennessee.

The 6-foot-5, 260-pound defensive lineman is from Howell High School in Howell, Michigan. He is the No. 233 overall prospect in the class of 2025, according to Rivals.

As a sophomore in 2022, Kanka finished the season with 36 tackles, seven tackles for a loss, four sacks, two forced fumbles and three pass breakups. He played in six games due to a mid-season injury.

Kanka earned first-team All-Conference and first-team All-County honors last season. He was a Michigan All-State honorable mention.
