The month of June hasn’t had the same amount of excitement as May had for Michigan football, but that’s in large part due to May seeing a torrid rush of commitments coming the Wolverines’ way. Now, it’s about bolstering what’s already become a solid class with more top targets.
And on Thursday, the maize and blue added yet another.
Hailing from Fort Wayne (Ind.) Northrop, 2027 edge rusher Ifeanyi Emedobi might be relatively new to football, but the 6-foot-2, 214-pounder has shown an early aptitude for it. Choosing between Michigan, Minnesota, and Penn State, Emedobi — who took an official visit to Ann Arbor this past weekend — decided on the Wolverines, pledging his commitment on Thursday morning.
Emedobi is rated highest by Rivals, which has him as the No. 265 overall prospect, regardless of position, and the 23rd-best edge rusher. Though he may appear to be undersized compared to the typical defensive end, he reminds scouts and analysts of former Wolverines outside linebacker Josh Uche, and also has drawn comparisons to recent Michigan edge rusher Josaiah Stewart.
He is the third edge rusher to pledge to the class, joining Recarder Kitchen and Jayce Brewer.
Here is the full class using the Rivals Industry Ranking:
