Cincinnati St. Xavier three-star quarterback Chase Herbstreit committed to the Michigan Wolverines back on Dec. 8 and signed with the Maize and Blue. Ahead of the 2025 recruiting cycle wrapping up on Wednesday, he took an official visit to Ann Arbor alongside his family.

Herbstreit posted photos from the visit on Monday, including one with his father — ESPN analyst and former Ohio State quarterback Kirk Herbstreit.

This season for St. X, Herbstreit had a strong senior campaign throwing for 1,600 yards and 18 touchdowns, while rushing for 649 yards and eight scores on the ground.

Back in October, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power tabbed Herbstreit as a 2025 quarterback prospect who could outplay his recruitment:

“Chase Herbstreit has shown steady progress in his senior year at Cincinnati (Ohio) St. Xavier. The son of former Ohio State quarterback and long-time ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit, has led St. X to a 7-3 record while accounting for over 1,500 yards and 19 touchdowns. The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder looks to have a strong grasp on the pro-style offensive scheme and is comfortable working from under center. He’s added arm strength and displays good zip on intermediate passes.

“We’ve also seen Herbstreit become more of a run threat as a senior. He’s effective in avoiding pass rushers and is more than capable of picking up chunks of yardage as a scrambler and on designed runs. The level of improvement and the general competitive nature Herbstreit shows has us feeling he will maximize his talent.”

The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder was the second quarterback in the class for Sherrone Moore and Co., joining Five-Star Plus+ passer and No. 1 overall recruit Bryce Underwood.

The latter flipped from LSU last month before signing with the Wolverines on the first day of the Early Signing Period. In addition to Underwood, Michigan has commitments from five-star offensive tackle Andrew Babalola, top-50 defensive line prospect Nate Marshall, top-100 cornerback Shamari Earls, and four-star prospects Andrew Marsh and Kainoa Winston, among others.

With 23 total commitments, U-M has the No. 9 class in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.
