A Commitment That Signals Future Promise
Milton High School’s standout kicker Ryan Jung has officially pledged to the University of Michigan, committing to the program on June 20, 2026, becoming the first player to pledge to the 2028 recruiting class.
Jung, listed at 6‑foot‑2 and 195 pounds, arrives as the top‑ranked kicker in the 2028 class and carries a five‑star rating that places him among the most coveted specialists nationwide.
His football journey began at IMG Academy in Florida, where he honed his technique before returning to Georgia to lead Milton High School’s special‑teams unit.
The commitment marks the first official pledge for Michigan’s 2028 recruiting cycle, a milestone that underscores the program’s growing appeal to elite talent.
Milton High School officials praised the decision, noting that Jung’s blend of size, leg strength and poise should translate into immediate impact for the Wolverines’ special‑teams schemes.
Georgia and Florida have long been fertile recruiting grounds, and Jung’s move illustrates how the Wolverines are extending their reach into these hotbeds to secure future contributors.
While the class is still years away from arrival, the early pledge provides a foundation for Michigan’s planning, allowing the coaching staff to build around a player they view as a cornerstone for the next era of kicking excellence.
