On3 RPM: How Michigan is trending for three 2025 targets visiting for BBQ at The Big House

Michigan will welcome dozens of top prospects to Ann Arbor this upcoming weekend for the annual BBQ at The Big House. Among the expected visitors are three uncommitted recruits in the 2025 class, including two ranked in the Top 100 nationally.

The Wolverine examines where U-M stands with the visitors, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM), the industry’s first algorithm and machine learning-based product to predict where athletes will attend college. 

Top 100 WR Jerome Myles, West Jordan (Utah) Corner Canyon

Industry Ranking: No. 58 Overall, No. 10 Wide Receiver, No. 1 in Utah
On3 Ranking: No. 142 Overall, No. 18 Wide Receiver, No. 1 in Utah
RPM: Utah (90.2%), Texas A&M (3.9%), Ole Miss (3.3%), Michigan (<1%)
Past U-M Visits: N/A

Michigan will get its first crack at hosting Jerome Myles after the ascending wideout decommitted from Ole Miss in late June. The trip to Ann Arbor will be an unofficial visit for Myles, who’s already taken an official to Oxford, along with officials to Texas A&M and Utah. The Aggies and Utes are in Myles’ Top 5 with the Wolverines, LSU, and Penn State rounding out the group. Myles told On3’s Steve Wiltfong that fall official visits are being planned for LSU and PSU. U-M will work towards bringing back Myles on a return following the barbecue. Wide receivers coach Ron Bellamy is running point in Myles’ recruitment and they’re continuing to build a bond. At 6-foot-3, 215 pounds, Myles has been clocked at 10.36 in the 100-meter dash.

Top 100 WR Andrew Marsh, Katy (Tex.) Jordan

Industry Ranking: No. 62 Overall, No. 11 Wide Receiver, No. 13 in Texas
On3 Ranking: No. 167 Overall, No. 24 Wide Receiver, No. 27 in Texas
RPM: Michigan (86.6%), Texas (2.8%), USC (2.1%), Oklahoma (1.5%)
Past U-M Visits: 6/21/24, 6/4/24, 7/30/23, 5/31/23

Andrew Marsh‘s official visit to Michigan last month happened on the same weekend he was originally supposed to officially visit Oklahoma. Instead, the four-star playmaker went to U-M twice in June and the Wolverines are now the heavy favorite to land him, according to the RPM. His second of the two trips was meant for him and his family to receive an in-depth look at the program and campus. Bellamy and head coach Sherrone Moore are prioritizing Marsh, who were able to strength their relationship with the junior. The upcoming barbecue visit will be his fifth appearance in Ann Arbor since May of last year.

On300 CB Jayden Sanders, Kilgore (Tex.) High

Industry Ranking: No. 234 Overall, No. 27 Cornerback, No. 33 in Texas
On3 Ranking: No. 203 Overall, No. 21 Cornerback No. 33 in Texas
RPM: Michigan (93.8%), Baylor (2.6%), Oklahoma State (1.7%), SMU (<1%)
Past U-M Visits: 6/18/24

A commitment is expected to be publicly announced by Jayden Sanders at the beginning of August, which will occur after his return visit to Michigan for the barbecue. The Wolverines have garnered momentum this summer with the Texas secondary prospect, who ventured to Ann Arbor last month, two weeks following an offer presented by defensive backs coach LaMar Morgan. The assistant is impressed with Sanders’ ball skills, length, and speed. Moore also spoke to Sanders and his mother on the visit. Baylor, Vanderbilt, TCU, and Oklahoma State are the other finalists for Sanders. Sanders has already officially visited the three Big 12 schools and the Commodores, but not yet U-M, which could come to fruition.
