Who’s next in 2024? A closer look at five commitment candidates

Michigan is coming off a key win on the recruiting trail.

The Wolverines landed a verbal pledge from On300 Austin (Texas) Vandegrift offensive tackle Blake Frazier over the weekend.

Michigan now has 12 commits and boasts the No. 6 recruiting class nationally. But of course, Michigan fans are already thinking about the next man up.

So who are some other 2024 prospects that could jump on board and continue to build the momentum? Here are five candidates.

WR Channing Goodwin, Charlotte (N.C.) Providence Day

A three-star prospect, Goodwin joined teammate and Michigan quarterback commit Jadyn Davis on several visits to U-M over the last year and made his own trip last month. Goodwin also happens to be a legacy recruit as he is the son of former Michigan offensive lineman Jonathan Goodwin, who played with lead recruiter Ron Bellamy during his time in Ann Arbor. The elder Goodwin and Bellamy have remained friends throughout the years, and that relationship should give the Wolverines the inside track. Goodwin is ranked as the No. 431 overall prospect nationally.

WR I’Marion Stewart, Chicago (Ill.) Kenwood

Michigan hosted Stewart for an unofficial visit in late March and got him back on campus for the spring game just a week later. Overall, Stewart has visited Michigan three times this calendar year and recently told The Wolverine that U-M is in the lead. While Stewart, who is ranked as the No. 460 overall prospect nationally, doesn’t plan to make a decision until summer, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him jump in the class soon. I have a prediction in for Michigan and feel very confident in that pick.

TE Brady Prieskorn, Rochester (Mich.) Adams

Michigan is trending heavily for Prieskorn on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine following his unofficial visit last month. Michigan made a huge impression on the in-state prospect and appears to be in a strong position to keep him at home. Prieskorn, who is ranked as the No. 67 overall prospect nationally, did follow up his U-M trip with a visit to Penn State. He is also set to see Ole Miss this month. However, I have a prediction in for Michigan and believe the Wolverines can seal the deal at some point this offseason.

OL Jake Guarnera, Ponte Vedra (Fla.) High

Offensive line spots are flying off the board as Michigan now has four prospects committed in the trenches. The Wolverines could make it five soon as Guarnera is set to make a decision at the end of the month. Michigan wants a true center in this class and has recruited Guarnera, four-star Waltclaire Flynn and three-star Kyle Altuner equally as hard. However, it appears Guarnera wants to lock up his spot first, and Michigan will gladly take him. Ranked as the No. 514 overall recruit nationally, Guarnera will make his announcement on April 28.

EDGE Brian Robinson, Austintown (Ohio) Fitch

The Ohio movement is real. Michigan has landed four Ohio recruits this cycle, with two over the last month. That hot streak could continue with Robinson as area recruiter Steve Clinkscale is making it a priority to rebuild the recruiting bridge into enemy territory. Robinson visited three times in the fall and returned to campus again this winter. He has great relationships with Clinkscale and defensive line coach Mike Elston and loves the recent EDGE production. U-M has the clear lead for Robinson, who ranks as the No. 153 overall prospect nationally, but he needs to claim his spot sooner rather than later as Michigan is continuing to recruit other pass rushers.
