After a red-hot month of May for Michigan football recruiting, June has been relatively quiet.
That changed Thursday, June 18, when four-star class of 2027 edge Ifeanyi Emedobi pledged to join the Wolverines. The Fort Wayne, Indiana product, out of Northrop High School, chose U-M over Minnesota − he also held offers from seven other Big Ten programs.
Emedobi, who stands 6-foot-1½ and 210 pounds, is the No. 10 player in Indiana, the No. 36 edge in the country and the No. 410 recruit among all rising seniors according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.
He was already scheduled to visit Ann Arbor for “Victors Weekend” from June 19-21; if he follows through with that plan, it would likely be a chance to try and convince the handful of other key targets to join him as part of U-M’s next crop.
Emedobi is now the fourth defensive line commit in the class, joining four-star Xavier Muhammad, four-star Recarder Kitchen and four-star Jayce Brewer. Michigan entered the day with the No. 23 overall class in the nation.
