The University of Michigan’s football program is quietly assembling a promising 2028 recruiting class, drawing the attention of several of the nation’s most coveted high school athletes.
Four‑star prospect Cartae Ligon, currently ranked No. 141 overall, has publicly praised the Wolverines’ coaching staff and expressed that Ann Arbor feels like a natural fit for him.
Visits on the Horizon
Following Ligon’s lead, offensive lineman Jace Montgomery, a No. 277 national prospect, recently toured the campus, noting the staff’s emphasis on leadership development as a key factor in his impression.
Legacy edge rusher Asa Burch, a No. 125 national recruit, has announced that he will return to Ann Arbor for a fall game visit, a move that could further solidify Michigan’s position in his final decision.
The convergence of these visits underscores a broader trend: top‑tier talent is increasingly evaluating Michigan not just for its facilities, but for the relationships forged with position coaches and the program’s clear pathway to player growth.
As the Wolverines continue to host elite prospects, the momentum suggests that the 2028 class could become one of the most competitive in recent memory, potentially reshaping the team’s future depth chart.
