Beigel Recruitment

Beigel committed to Michigan in July of last year following an unofficial visit and has remained solid throughout the entire recruiting process.

He sided with the Wolverines over offers from Central Michigan, Georgia, Penn State and Texas A&M. So what’s kept Beigel so locked in?

“First of all, it’s the development side,” Beigel said. “They are known for developing. The coaches are great. I obviously need development since I haven’t played for that long. I trust that the coaches at Michigan can get me where I want to be.”

Beigel, who is originally from Germany, began his athletic career playing soccer before transitioning to football. He moved to the United States last fall and played exclusively along the offensive line. Beigel began playing along the defensive line this season.

Beigel will sign with Michigan in December and enroll in June.

At 6-foot-5, 282 pounds, Beigel is ranked as the No. 837 overall prospect in the country, per the On3 Industry Ranking. He is also ranked as the No. 6 overall recruit in the state of Connecticut.

Michigan has 25 commits in its 2024 recruiting class, which is ranked No. 4 in the Big Ten and No. 15 nationally, per the On3 Industry team recruiting rankings. The class is highlighted by Top 100 Cincinnati (Ohio) Moeller running back Jordan Marshall, Top 100 Kansas City (Mo.) Rockhurst offensive lineman Andrew Sprague, Top 100 Charlotte (N.C.) Providence Day quarterback Jadyn Davis and Top 100 Rochester (Mich.) Adams tight end Brady Prieskorn.
