On Thursday, Michigan football added an excellent piece to the 2027 class, with Fort Wayne (Ind.) Northrop four-star edge rusher Ifeanyi Emedobi pledged to the Wolverines. But what does the 6-foot-2, 214-pound pass rusher bring to the table?
Emedobi is coming off his first year playing high school football and yet managed a self-reported 50 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles. Even after just one year, his upside is apparent, and he’s drawing a lot of comparisons to former Wolverines pass rusher Josh Uche, who thrived despite having similar measurables.
We checked out his highlight tape, and here were our takeaways.
According to 247Sports’ Andrew Ivins, Emedobi ran a 4.48-second 40-yard dash and has a 37.7-inch vertical leap.
Here is the full listing of the current commitments in the 2027 class, using the Rivals Industry Ranking:
