Briehler Recruitment

Briehler notched an offer from Michigan in late July and is planning to make his first visit at some point in the near future.

Both Michigan defensive line coach Mike Elston and area recruiter Grant Newsome are involved in his recruitment and are making strong impressions early on.

“They told me they wanted to offer me in the spring but were focused on getting Owen (Wafle) to commit,” Briehler said. “They’ve been watching me for a while and really like me. They were energetic about talking to me. It was really good to talk to them.”  

Briehler is a high school teammate of three-star 2024 Michigan defensive line commit Owen Wafle, who is already recruiting him to U-M.

Along with Michigan, Briehler holds offers from Boston College, Maryland, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Penn State, Rutgers, USC and others.

Rutgers currently has the lead for Briehler on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine with a 24.7 percent chance of landing him.

At 6-foot-2, 263 pounds, Briehler is ranked as the No. 28 defensive lineman and No. 273 overall prospect nationally, per the On3 Industry Ranking. Briehler is also ranked as the No. 7 overall recruit in the state of New Jersey for next cycle.

Michigan has two verbal commitments in its 2025 recruiting class in Top 100 Miami (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna defensive back Chris Ewald and four-star Howell (Mich.) High defensive lineman Bobby Kanka. The class is ranked No. 17 nationally, per the On3 Industry team recruiting rankings.
