Michigan Football Scores Two Big Commits

TLDR: Michigan football team witnessed a successful recruiting event dubbed ‘Victors Weekend,’ securing commitments from two new key players in just one day. Chase Taylor, a promising three-star linebacker from Stockbridge, Georgia, decided to join the Wolverines over several strong contenders, including Georgia Tech, Clemson, Tennessee, and USC. Taylor, standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 201 pounds, brings potential depth to the team as the first linebacker commitment for the class of 2025. Complementing him, Jacob Washington, a talented four-star wide receiver from Louisiana, has also pledged his talent to Michigan on the same day. This comes swiftly after Michigan’s success in securing commitments from IMG Academy standouts Donovan Johnson and Kaden Strayhorn. These strategic acquisitions bring Michigan’s 2025 recruits’ number to 12, lifting the class to 15th in national rankings, demonstrating their competitive stature in the Big Ten, where Ohio State leads. This intensive recruiting campaign reflects Michigan’s aggressive tactics and strategic positioning in building a formidable team for future seasons.


Michigan football had a stellar weekend, shining bright with impressive recruitment successes early this week. They landed two high-potential players for their 2025 roster in one fell swoop. Key highlights include the addition of Chase Taylor, a well-regarded three-star linebacker from Stockbridge, Georgia, who made his decision to commit after being heavily courted by major football programs like Clemson and USC. Another standout acquisition was four-star wide receiver Jacob Washington from Louisiana, adding versatility and talent to the team’s offense.

With Taylor, who stands at a formidable 6-foot-3 and weighs 201 pounds, Michigan has addressed a pivotal position in their defense. This three-star prospect ranked 61st among linebackers nationally, adds significant depth to a linebacker unit that recently saw the loss of several personnel to transfers and graduation. His commitment signals a promising investment in the future defensive roster for Michigan, which is an integral factor for the Wolverines’ competitiveness in upcoming seasons.

Coupled with Washington’s skills on the offensive lineup, Michigan’s efforts in bolstering their 2025 class have been noteworthy. In the grand chess match of college football, these latest commitments add to the Wolverines’ arsenal, now counting 12 recruits for their 2025 lineup. This places Michigan’s recruiting class at 15th nationally and ranks fifth in the Big Ten, trailing strong programs like Ohio State and Rutgers. These strategic additions uphold Michigan’s tradition of strong recruitment, underscoring the program’s dedication to building a powerhouse on the gridiron.
