With the commitment of Charles Woodson Jr. to Michigan football on Friday, Michigan football stayed put at No. 17 in the 247Sports team rankings after having moved up from No. 29 earlier in the week when wide receiver Quentin Burrell committed. But with the latest pledge that the Wolverines received, from 2027 Jackson (Miss.) Brandon four-star running back Tyson Robinson, the maize and blue are sniffing the top 10.
Robinson pledged to Michigan football on Saturday afternoon, vaulting the program from No. 17 to 13th in the 247Sports team rankings via the composite rankings. The Wolverines now have 11 commits in the class, and Michigan has moved ahead of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Texas, and Washington, and sits just behind Texas Tech, Kentucky, and No. 10 Ohio State, which also has 11 commits. 247Sports has Michigan as having eight four-stars and three-stars.
The Rivals rankings saw Michigan move up from 13th to 12th with the pledge, having also leapfrogged the Longhorns in the process. UCLA is No. 11, LSU is 10th, Oregon is ninth, and Ohio State is eighth. Rivals has Michigan as having seven four-stars and four three-stars.
Here is the full list of commits ranked by the Rivals Industry Ranking:
Michigan is expecting more good news in short order, with 2027 Chicago (Ill.) Mount Carmel four-star safety Tavares Harrington planning his commitment for May 22. At the moment, the Wolverines are the predicted landing spot.
