Wolverine TV: Top 100 WR Andrew Marsh a massive land for Michigan, Ron Bellamy
The Wolverine’s EJ Holland discussed several Michigan recruiting topics on the Tuesday edition of The Wolverine Live recruiting show, including the commitment of Top 100 Katy (Texas) Jordan wide receiver Andrew Marsh.
Watch the full episode in the video above.
Marsh Recruitment
Marsh notched an offer from Michigan back in January of last year and immediately became a priority for the Wolverines.
U-M wide receivers coach Ron Bellamy built a strong relationship with Marsh throughout the process and was able to get him on campus just a few months later. Marsh visited Michigan three times this summer, including for his official visit for Victors Weekend in late June.
It was there where Michigan began to trend on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine. Marsh returned to Ann Arbor for the BBQ at The Big House, which only helped the Wolverines with their momentum in this race.
Marsh ultimately committed to Michigan on Tuesday night over fellow finalists Colorado, Texas, USC and Washington.

Here is what Holland had to say about Marsh.
“Marsh is one of the best in the air receivers in the country,” Holland said. “He’s only listed at about 6-foot or 6-foot and a half, but he plays much bigger than his size. Marsh makes a lot of contested catches on film. It’s not really a 50-50 ball when Marsh is in the air. He plays extremely physical and literally runs people over. The biggest knock on him is speed, but he has enough of it and makes plenty of plays after the catch. He is the highest rated wide receiver commit for Michigan since, I believe, Darrius Clemons.”
Michigan now has 17 commits in its 2025 recruiting class — Marsh, Top 100 Center Valley (Pa.) Southern Lehigh tight end Andrew Olesh, Top 100 Winter Garden (Fla.) West Orange safety Ivan Taylor, Top 100 Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga defensive back Kainoa Winston, Top 100 Oak Park (Ill.) Fenwick defensive lineman Nate Marshall, On300 Fort Myers (Fla.)
