Podcast: Previewing top recruits visiting Michigan for the BBQ

Myles Recruitment
Michigan offered Myles during the spring evaluation period earlier this year and will host the four-star for the first time in a few days. Myles is coming off his decommitment from Ole Miss this past month after pledging to the Rebels in late April.
It’ll be an unofficial visit in Ann Arbor for Myles as the Wolverines will look to have him return later in the fall. Myles has been building a growing relationship with Michigan wide receivers coach Ron Bellamy this summer.
Holland went in-depth on Michigan’s wide receiver board this cycle.
“Something to mention with the Myles recruitment is Michigan already has two wide receivers committed in Phillip Wright and Jacob Washington,” Holland said. “They have the lead for Andrew Marsh going to (his) visit (this weekend). That would be three receivers if (U-M is) able to get Marsh. They would absolutely make room for Myles. The plan has been to take three wide receivers, but they would make room for a fourth with Jerome.”
Before Myles’ trip to Michigan, he officially visited Texas A&M and Utah in June. Plans to officially visit LSU and Penn State are expected to occur in-season.
Other notable offers that Myles has collected include Miami, Tennessee, USC, Washington, UCLA, Michigan State, Arkansas, Nebraska, and Oregon State.
At 6-foot-3, 215 pounds, Myles is listed as the No. 58 overall prospect and the No. 10 wide receiver in the country, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four primary recruiting media services. He’s also the No. 1 player in Utah.
Michigan currently has 16 commits in its 2025 recruiting class. Featured are Top 100 Oak Park (Ill.) Fenwick defensive lineman Nate Marshall, Top 100 Winter Garden (Fla.) West Orange safety Ivan Taylor, Top 100 Center Valley (Pa.) Southern Lehigh tight end Andrew Olesh, On300 Alpharetta (Ga.) High EDGE Julius Holly, On300 Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy running back Donovan Johnson, On300 Palantine (Ill.) High defensive lineman Jaylen Williams, On300 Marrero (La.) Archbishop Shaw running back Jasper Parker, On300 Washington (D.C.)
