Recruiting Story

This wasn’t a high-profile recruitment, but it was one of two commits from Ron Bellamy’s high school, Marrero (La.) Archbishop Shaw. Washington was a consensus three-star at the time of his commitment but moved up the rankings during his senior season. He took some late visits, prominently Mizzou, but stuck with his Michigan commitment.

Readiness Level

Could be an impact player in year one but more likely to be so in year two.

Michigan football gets commitment from big 2025 WR

HUGE! #GoBlue

Michigan football recruiting is in full effect as of late. With official visits wrapping up, the Wolverines have been working to convert mere visits to commitments, and that’s been working of late, with two pledges coming out of Victors Weekend.

And now you can make that three.

The Wolverines got their first wide receiver pledge on Monday with the commitment of 2025 Marrero (La.) Archbishop Shaw four-star Jacob Washington. Coming in at 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, Washington is the first taller receiver Michigan has gotten in the past couple years and should add some downfield ability to the passing game.

On3’s Hayes Fawcett reported the commitment.

Washington is rated as a four-star according to both the 247Sports Composite as well as the On3 Industry Ranking. He’s rated highest by ESPN which has him as the No. 203 player in the country regardless of position.

Washington had offers from schools such as Arkansas, Miami, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Penn State, and UCF.

His primary recruiter was Ron Bellamy, who attended the same high school in Louisiana.
