Michigan football offers 2026 EDGE from West Coast

Getting in there early. #GoBlue

As Michigan football continues to seek out commitments in the 2024 class, the Wolverines aren’t just getting a jump start on 2025 prospects, the next class up, but are looking forward to the deep future, extending offers to the 2026 class.

On Tuesday night, the maize and blue made an offer to really get a jump start on said class, getting in as the second offer for a recruit out of Seattle (Wash.) O’Dea.

Coming out of his freshman season in high school, and with Louisville being his first offer, 6-foot-3, 220-pound edge rusher David Schwerzel announced on Twitter that Michigan football became his second opportunity.

As of current, Schwerzel is unrated, as none of the 2026 prospects are rated.
