The impending Early National Signing Day is ushering in a significant week for college football recruiting, particularly for the Michigan Wolverines, with numerous talented players anticipated to sign on Wednesday, December 20. As the excitement builds, here are the key storylines that Michigan fans should closely monitor.

Bair and Edokpayi Signing:
Michigan is actively pursuing commitments from two standout players in the 2024 class: the four-star wide receiver, Gatlin Bair, and the four-star edge, Lugard Edokpayi. Bair recently decommitted from Boise State, focusing on Michigan and Oregon. Colston Loveland, a current Wolverines tight end and Idaho native, has been advocating for Bair to join the Ann Arbor roster. Despite Bair’s planned two-year mission trip, a commitment from him could potentially make a significant impact in the seasons to come. Edokpayi, rated just outside the top 300, received an offer from Michigan before Thanksgiving, had an official visit last week, and garnered attention during an in-home visit by the coaching staff. With crystal ball predictions from 247, all eyes will be on whether these players sign this week or opt to wait until the next signing day in winter.

Commitments This Week:
Michigan’s 2024 class already boasts 26 hard commits, featuring prominent players like quarterback Jadyn Davis, running back Jordan Marshall, and offensive tackle Andrew Sprague. The majority of these commitments, secured since spring, are likely to formalize their signings on Wednesday. Ongoing coverage will provide insights into who signs and any surprises arising from high-profile commits.

Michigan’s National Ranking:
Having clinched the Big Ten and secured a place in the College Football Playoff for three consecutive years, Michigan stands as one of the premier college football programs in the country. However, sustaining this status requires consistent recruiting success. As of December 18, the 2024 class rankings place Michigan 19th on 247, 16th on On3, and 13th on Rivals. While not expected to secure a five-star recruit in this class, Michigan has garnered commitments from 17 four-star players, a number surpassed only by Georgia, Oregon, Oklahoma, and LSU. The potential additions of Bair and Edokpayi may influence Michigan’s upward trajectory in the rankings.
