Michigan's football team celebrated a notable victory over the weekend with the commitment of Jordan Young, a top 2025 safety recruit, who flipped from his initial commitment to Clemson. Young, a four-star safety from Monroe, North Carolina, found Michigan appealing due to their persistent recruitment efforts, specifically led by head coach Sherrone Moore and defensive backs coach LaMar Morgan. Michigan's strategy, which included leveraging name, image, and likeness (NIL) opportunities, attracted Young's attention. The Wolverines' recruiting success follows their recent acquisition of five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood. With an already strong lineup, Michigan portrays a promising future for its secondary, losing several senior players soon. Young's visit to Ann Arbor during a rivalry game left a lasting impression, persuading him to join the Michigan roster. Significantly, Michigan's standings in national rankings also improved, moving them up to eighth with 20 commitments. The team retains high hopes for additional recruits such as Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng and Alex Graham. As a top defensive back prospect, Young strengthens Michigan's recruitment class, poised to make a substantial impact.
