Michigan LB commit Mason Curtis makes jump in updated On3 rankings
Michigan linebacker commit Mason Curtis is on the rise in the latest On3 rankings for the 2024 recruiting class.
On3 updated its On300 list this week, and Curtis jumped 20 spots from the No. 164 ranked overall prospect in the country to No. 144. Curtis is now ranked as the No. 13 linebacker nationally and No. 3 recruit in the state of Tennessee.
The Nashville (Tenn.) Ensworth product picked Michigan over offers from Kentucky, Michigan State, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, West Virginia and others in June.
“I felt at home at Michigan from the time I stepped foot on campus to the time I left,” Curtis said this summer. “My head coach told me as long as I feel like it’s home then I wouldn’t see why you wouldn’t commit. I liked the coaches. They are real. They aren’t giving me anything fake. I also love what they have to offer after football.”
Curtis has remained completely solid to Michigan and visited twice this fall, including over the weekend for Michigan’s win over Big Ten foe Penn State.

Curtis is the third Nashville-area recruit to side with the Wolverines over the last four cycles, joining U-M freshman cornerback Myles Pollard and sophomore linebacker Junior Colson, who, like Curtis, was part of the NPA training organization.
Curtis is part of a two-man 2024 Michigan recruiting class that also features rising Wallingford (Conn.) Choate Rosemary Hall defensive lineman Manuel Beigel, who announced his verbal pledge in July.
At 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, Curtis was originally recruited as a linebacker but has the measureables that best project at the EDGE position. Michigan loves his versatility and will monitor his development before making a call on a true position fit.
“They see me as a versatile defender,” Curtis said following his commitment. “They said sometimes I’ll come the edge and sometimes I’ll play out in space. That’s really how the conversations went. They talked about EDGE and linebacker.”
