Michigan Wolverines

Michigan has missed out on plenty of top cornerback targets in the 2024 cycle -- most recently Aaron Scott when he trolled Michigan and chose Ohio State. 

But the Wolverines are now on the board. 

Michigan received a commitment from 2024 athlete Jo'Ziah Edmond. 

Edmond recently de-committed from Purdue on Monday, then after Michigan sent out the offer, it was too good for him to pass up.

He hails from Nappanee (Indiana) Northwood. Edmond is listed as an athlete as he can play both receiver and cornerback, but Edmond is projected to play corner at Michigan. 

According to the Composite, Edmond is a three-star recruit. He is the 723rd-ranked recruit in the cycle and the No. 8 recruit in the state of Indiana. 

Edmond will have good length at the corner spot for the Wolverines standing at 6-foot-1, 180-pounds. Besides Purdue, he had offers from Baylor, Iowa State, Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Wisconsin.

With the addition of Edmond, Michigan now has 27 commitments in the 2024 class.
