Michigan football has been making a strong habit of chasing recruits from the state of Ohio of late, and one strongly coveted in the 2024 cycle will make his way to campus again soon, though this time it will be in an official capacity.
Hailing from Youngstown (Ohio) Fitch, four-star edge rusher Brian Robinson has been to Ann Arbor multiple times. The 6-foot-5, 255-pounder from secondary coach Steve Clinkscale’s hometown is rated No. 125 overall according to the 247Sports composite and is the 11th-best edge rusher, as well as the fourth-best player in the state of Ohio.
According to On3, Robinson has three official visits: to Michigan on June 2, Kentucky on June 9, and Penn State on June 16.

Michigan holds 100% of Robinson’s four 247Sports crystal ball predictions. Kentucky appears to be the primary threat for his services with ace recruiter Vince Marrow taking charge of his recruitment in Lexington.
The scouting report from 247Sports’ Allen Trieu:
Prototypical frame and has added good weight throughout the course of his high school career. Has experience playing different positions and roles within a defense but most likely, he will end up playing on the EDGE in college. Growth potential makes it likely he will be primarily hand down despite his experience standing up. Has shaded inside some for his high school and is growing into a body that can do that in college also. Shows closing speed and get-off. Good athlete who can bend and change direction. Works at his craft and improved a lot with his hands and technique from between sophomore and junior year. Did not have much defensive line experience prior to that and has picked up finer points of the position quickly. Projects as a Power Five impact player with the tools to play beyond college.
Michigan has four commitments from the state of Ohio in the 2024 class, though only one (running back Jordan Marshall) has an offer from rival Ohio State.
