The Wolverine’s EJ Holland was recently on the road and saw four-star Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic defensive back Jordan Thomas at a private working. Thomas is a top target for Michigan in the 2026 recruiting class.

Watch full clips from the training session in the video at the end of this story.

Thomas Recruitment

Michigan extended an offer to Thomas back in April of 2023. Since then, the Wolverines have gotten Thomas on campus twice.

Thomas made his first visit to Michigan in the fall when the Wolverines hosted Texas in a marquee non-conference game. Thomas returned for another unofficial visit right before the dead period last month.

Michigan is making Thomas a top priority this cycle and is hoping to get him back to Ann Arbor for a spring practice.

Here is what Holland had to say about his recruitment.

“Thomas is listed as an athlete, but Michigan is recruiting him hard as a cornerback who can also move around in the secondary,” Holland said. “I like Thomas as a cornerback. At 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, Thomas fits what Michigan usually looks for at the position. However, he also has the versatility to play nickel and safety. He has high level technique and feet. He’s really filling out his frame nicely as well. Michigan is right up there in his recruitment and is looking to get him back this spring. Thomas recently told me that he plans to make a commitment before the spring is over.”

Along with Michigan, Thomas has made recent visits to schools like Auburn, Ohio State, Penn State, Texas A&M and USC.

Penn State has the lead on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine with an 18.0 percent chance of landing him. Michigan is tied for fourth place with a 7.6 percent chance of landing him.

At 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, Thomas is ranked as the No. 17 athlete and No. 278 overall prospect nationally, per the On3 Industry Ranking. He is also ranked as the No. 3 overall recruit in the state of New Jersey for this cycle.

Michigan currently has two commits in its 2026 recruiting class in On300 Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin cornerback Brody Jennings and three-star Dallas (Texas) Parish Episcopal wide receiver Jaylen Pile.

Michigan’s 2026 recruiting class is currently ranked No. 56 nationally and No. 14 in the Big Ten, per the On3 Industry team recruiting rankings. Oregon has the top class in the conference.
