Wolverine TV: Training clips of Top 100 Michigan CB target Shamari Earls

The Wolverine’s EJ Holland recently made his way to Richmond, Virginia to watch Top 100 Michigan cornerback target Shamari Earls, who is currently committed to South Carolina, at a private workout.

Watch the full clips from his training session in the video above.

Earls Recruitment

Earls committed to South Carolina in the spring. However, the Chester (Va.) Thomas Dale is leaving the door open for a handful of other programs.

Earls made an unofficial visit to Michigan in June and followed that up with an official visit to Georgia.

New Michigan secondary coach LaMar Morgan offered Earls soon after arriving in Ann Arbor and made his way to Virginia to visit with Earls and his father during the spring evaluation period. The meeting really moved the needle and solidified Michigan as a team to watch in this recruitment.

Here is what Holland had to say about U-M’s pursuit of Earls.

“LaMar Morgan went out to see him at the end of the spring evaluation period and had a meeting with him and his father,” Holland said. “Michigan is in the picture for Shamari Earls. He made an unofficial visit in June. I think Michigan has worked its way back in here. He is really looking hard at both Georgia and Michigan. Georgia is considered the leader, but Michigan is doing everything they can to land him.”

Earls plans to enroll early at the school of his choice.

At 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, Earls is ranked as the No. 8 cornerback and No. 69 overall recruit nationally, per On3. He is also ranked as the No. 3 overall recruit in the state of Virginia this cycle.

Michigan has 13 commits in its 2025 recruiting class — Top 100 Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga defensive back Kainoa Winston, Top 100 Oak Park (Ill.) Fenwick defensive lineman Nate Marshall, On300 Fort Myers (Fla.) Bishop Verot quarterback Carter Smith, On300 Alpharetta (Ga.) High EDGE Julius Holly, On300 Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy running back Donovan Johnson, four-star New Orleans (La.) Archbishop Shaw wide receiver Jacob Washington, four-star Palatine (Ill.) High EDGE Jaylen Williams, four-star Birmingham (Mich.) Groves offensive lineman Avery Gach, four-star Howell (Mich.) High defensive lineman Bobby Kanka, three-star New Orleans (La.) Archbishop Shaw running back Jasper Parker, three-star Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy offensive lineman Kaden Strayhorn, three-star Stockbridge (Ga.) High linebacker Chase Taylor and three-star Alcoa (Tenn.) High tight end Eli Owens.

The class is currently ranked No. 14 nationally and No. 5 in the Big Ten, per the On3 Industry national team recruiting rankings. The Wolverines currently sit behind Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State and USC.
