Wolverine TV: Q&A with Michigan LB commit Cole Sullivan

The Wolverine traveled out to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, last week to meet with 2024 Michigan linebacker commit Cole Sullivan at his school’s practice for the first time since his decision earlier in May.

Sullivan chose the Wolverines after two unofficial visit to Ann Arbor this past March. He held other notable offers from Notre Dame, Miami, Stanford, Penn State, Pitt, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Oklahoma.

Sullivan goes in-depth on why the early spring visits made the difference, his relationship with both linebackers coach Chris Partridge and strength and conditioning coach Ben Herbert, joining a class that’s tied for the most pledges in the country and expectations moving forward.

“I’m so excited and I can’t wait to get to work with Coach Herb and the rest of the staff,” Sullivan told The Wolverine at Central Catholic. “I’m excited to meet all of my (future) teammates. It was really just the culture around the players and the coaches. Combined with the best football, academics and the best coaching staff.
