Wolverine TV: Breaking down Michigan's five highest ranked remaining targets

Michigan already has 24 commits in its 2024 recruiting class, but the Wolverines are still in on multiple Top 100 prospects.

The Wolverine’s EJ Holland breaks down the five highest ranked targets left on the board using the On3 Industry Recruiting Rankings.

Watch or listen below.

The highest rated recruit of the bunch is five-star Chicago (Ill.) St. Ignatius defensive lineman Justin Scott, who made his official visit earlier this month.

Here is what Holland had to say about his recruitment.

“Michigan was thought of as the third or fourth team in this race going into official visit season,” Holland said. “But Michigan did a fantastic job on his recent OV. The Wolverines built a lot of momentum. After that visit, I wrote that if it came down to the Midwest schools, Michigan would have that momentum. And it’s looking like the preference is for Scott to stay in the Midwest.”

Along with Michigan, Scott is strongly considering Georgia, Miami, Notre Dame and Ohio State.

At 6-foot-5, 310 pounds, Scott i ranked as the No. 2 defensive lineman and No. 9 overall prospect nationally, per the On3 Industry Rankings.
