Weston Port, a 2025 linebacker out of California, has officially pledged to the University of Michigan, ending a brief stint with UCLA that began earlier in the recruiting cycle.
A Recruiting Shift
Port’s decision comes after a series of coaching changes at UCLA, which opened the door for him to reconsider his commitment and explore programs that aligned with his academic and athletic goals.
The Michigan coaching staff highlighted his ability to play inside linebacker, noting his size, speed, and knack for shedding blocks against the run.
Analysts have praised Port’s relentless work ethic, pointing to his off‑season training that has made him look quicker and more explosive on the field.
Ranked as a four‑star prospect at one point, Port now sits outside the top 700 in the 247Sports Composite, but his character and leadership qualities have earned him comparisons to future team captains.
