Wolverines set for first big recruiting weekend under Sherrone Moore
With Pro Day underway on Friday and recruiting beginning to take off this spring, Michigan and Sherrone Moore are hosting a wide variety of elite prospects this weekend in hopes of building momentum in some important races.
On campus already is the nation’s number three tackle in Overland Park (KS) five-star Andrew Babalola. Babalola has been recruited as a top target by the Wolverines for a while now with Grant Newsome eyeing his first potential five-star pull of his recruiting career. He is joined by fellow top offensive line target Avery Gach, a player I currently have a 247Sports Crystal Ball in for. Four-star safety and another top target in Ja’Don Blair is also in town for the next two days. Three-star Georgia wideout Jamauri Brice is also in town on Friday.
On Sunday, the staff will host their most prolific group of recruits under Moore thus far. Among those expected:
Four-star edge Damien Shanklin: The Indianapolis (IN) native is now a Top100 prospect according to 247Sports. Michigan is battling Notre Dame, Texas, Tennessee and Miami (FL) among others at this point in his recruitment.
Four-star offensive lineman Marcus Garcia: Garcia was one of the first offers made by Newsome after his move to offensive line coach. The Denton (TX) Ryan prospect has officials already set to Arkansas, Nebraska, Texas A&M and Texas Tech. This will be his first trip to Ann Arbor.
Four-star tight end Andrew Olesh: Olesh had a huge winter recruiting-wise as he added double digit offers within a couple weeks’ time. This included Michigan, who offered three weeks ago. It’s conceivable the four-star could move up to top target with a strong trip this weekend.
Four-star running back Bo Jackson: Tony Alford has hit the ground running in getting some top guys up as Jackson will be in town. The Cleveland (OH) Top100 prospect has interest in Ohio State, Kentucky and will be in Knoxville earlier in the weekend as well to check out Tennessee.
2026 QB Noah Grubbs: Grubbs is a name that 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong has mentioned explicitly as a prospect the Wolverines could be in good shape for. The Lake Mary (FL) prospect has offers from Notre Dame, Penn State, Miami (FL), Oklahoma and Texas A&M among others.
2026 RB Kyshawn Robinson: The Pittsburgh (PA) running back does not yet hold a Michigan offer but has tenders from Florida, Florida State, Penn State and USC among others. It would not be a surprise to see Michigan join.
2026 TE Carson Sneed: The nation’s number three tight end in 2026 according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Sneed will make his first trip to Ann Arbor this weekend. In-state Tennessee has an early 247Sports Crystal Ball in their favor.
2026 OL Carter Scruggs: Scruggs is another potential big-time prospect in 2026 who does not yet hold a Michigan offer but could see one on this trip. The Leesburg (VA) native has Alabama, Penn State and Virginia Tech on his early offer sheet.
247Sports will have more on this recruiting weekend as it takes place and after it has concluded.
