June was a successful month for Michigan football recruiting, but July may not start off as well. The Wolverines missed out on some top targets, including edge rusher Maxwell Roy who committed to rival Ohio State. However, there is still good news on the horizon for Michigan, assuming nothing changes.
One of the promising prospects that Michigan is in good standing with is three-star wide receiver Phillip Wright III from Destrehan, Louisiana. Wright could become the second wide receiver from Louisiana to commit to Michigan and the third overall pledge from the state. He is expected to make his decision on July 13 and is considering Michigan, Georgia, and LSU.
Wright is highly ranked by recruiting services, with different rankings placing him at different positions and states. He is known for his speed, having run a 10.62 100-meter dash in 2023. Currently, Michigan has a wide receiver from Louisiana committed in Jacob Washington and is also in good standing with Andrew Marsh from Texas.
Overall, Michigan football recruiting continues to make progress, with the potential addition of Wright adding to the excitement for the maize and blue. Keep an eye out for his decision on July 13.
