Michigan has just opened up the floodgates as it pertains to the 2026 recruiting cycle, with the first official visit weekend of the late-spring slate officially underway. As the Wolverines work to bring in the future crop of star players, that got us thinking – who have been the most heralded recruits that Michigan has brought in recently?
Relying on modern era rankings (thus starting around 2010), we went back through 247Sports’ proprietary rankings to come up with our own all-time commit list. We used the overall rating and then the overall ranking to come up with the top 25 most recent all-time recruits who chose Michigan football – meaning, no players who started elsewhere and ended up transferring to the Wolverines. That precludes players like quarterback Shea Patterson, running back Ty Isaac, or offensive tackle Myles Hinton – all of whom were five-stars.
With that said, here are the top 25 commits that Michigan has gotten in the past 15 years.
25. OT Andrew Sprague
Class year: 2024
Highschool: Kansas City (Mo.) Rockhurst
247Sports score: 96
Overall ranking: 68
A freshman just this past year, Sprague was one of the big gets in the 2024 class. Injuries kept him from getting involved early, but he ended up starting at right tackle in the ReliaQuest Bowl against Alabama and managed to hold his own in the process. Slated already to start for the Wolverines at the same position in 2025, he may be Michigan’s best offensive lineman, even as a sophomore.
24. WR Brian Cole
Class year: 2015
Highschool: Saginaw (Mich.) Heritage
247Sports score: 96
Overall ranking: 65
The top player in the state, Jim Harbaugh inherited Cole in his first, truncated recruiting class. A player who could see time at receiver or at cornerback, Cole played in three games as a true freshman, but was dismissed from the team for unknown reasons…
