With the Michigan football pursuit of 2025 Denton (Tx.) Ryan five-star offensive tackle Ty Haywood, there’s a chance that the Wolverines could get three five-star prospects in one class for the first time in school history. Except, depending on your accounting via the recruiting services, the maize and blue may already have that.

One prospect that Michigan is in good shape with is four-star Thomasville (Ga.) Thomas County Central edge rusher Cam Brooks, who recently included the Wolverines in his 'Top 9' schools alongside Georgia, Ohio State, Tennessee, Miami, Florida State, Auburn, Clemson and California.

Michigan appears to have its work cut out of it if it's looking to climb back in the College Football Playoff picture, at least according to analysts.

On3’s Andy Staples and Ari Wasserman put together their list of who they think will be the best of the best in 2025, even as the national championship game has yet to take place culminating the 2024 season. And the Wolverines come in ranked No. 12 in their estimation.
