Michigan Loses Top Recruit to Rival Oregon

Kyle Whittingham, in his first offseason as Michigan Wolverines head coach, has begun recruiting for the 2027 class. Despite the recent coaching change, the Wolverines' 2027 recruiting class already holds the 12th national ranking with four commitments. Michigan had shown interest in offensive tackle Avery Michael, a 6-foot-5, 250-pound three-star recruit from Turlock, California.

Michael, considered the nation's No. 600 player, narrowed his offers to six schools, including Michigan, Washington, Oregon, USC, California, and Nebraska. However, on Sunday, Michael announced his commitment to Oregon, marking a recruiting loss for the Wolverines. This development occurs as Whittingham's staff works to build future rosters. Michigan's current 2027 class does include two other offensive linemen, Louis Esposito and Tristan Dare.
