Michigan Football Receives Prediction To Land 2025 Running Back

While 2024 recruiting is at the forefront, the staff is trying to land top targets in the 2025 class as we speak.

All attention is on 2024 recruiting when it comes to Michigan. The Wolverines currently have the No. 4 recruiting class in the country and are waiting for word on some more top targets. 

However, the Wolverines coaching staff is also looking ahead to the future of recruiting. The maize and blue have been offering plenty of 2025 and 2026 recruits. Michigan currently has two commits in the '25 class and both are four-stars on the defensive side of the ball.

Could another commitment be on the horizon in the 2025 class?

Michigan received a FutureCast prediction from Josh Henschke at the Maize And Blue Review on Rivals to land three-star running back Justin Baker. 

Baker, a Buford (Georgia) product, is a three-star according to the Composite. He is the 336th-ranked recruit in the country and the 32nd-ranked running back in the 2025 class. It should be noted he is a four-star recruit according to Rivals itself.

He may be a three-star -- there is a ton of time for that to improve -- but he has all the offers you would want to see. Teams like Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Michigan State, Penn State, Tennessee, and USC have all offered the 2025 recruit.

The Wolverines have a commanding lead for Baker according to On3's Recruiting Prediction Machine. Michigan has an 87.7% chance to land him over UGA -- who is in second.
