Top CB target Jo’Ziah Edmond commits to Michigan

Michigan has landed a flip commitment from three-star Nappanee (Ind.) Northwood athlete Jo’Ziah Edmond, who was previously pledged to Purdue since June 10. He decommitted from the Boilermakers on Monday.

Edmond, who was recruited to Ann Arbor as a cornerback, is the first at the position to join U-M’s 2024 class as well as the first from the state of Indiana.

Other notable schools that entered the mix for the 6-foot-1, 185-pounder include Baylor, Wisconsin, Ole Miss, Kentucky and Iowa State. His commitment to Purdue occurred a day after taking an official visit to West Lafeyette.

Edmond is listed as the No. 645 overall prospect and No. 26 athlete in the country, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four primary recruiting media services. He’s also the No. 7 player in the state of Indiana.
