Twitter Reactions: Michigan Football Lands 4-star EDGE Jacob Smith

The past two days were a whirlwind in the recruitment of Cheshire (CT) Cheshire Academy Edge, Jacob Smith. It was announced on Wednesday morning he would be declaring on Thursday, but then reports came out on Wednesday night that Smith would delay his announcement.

As it turned out, Smith didn't need to wait after all. Smith declared to Michigan and is now in the 26-man class alongside his twin brother, Jerod Smith.

Smith chose the Wolverines over the likes of Nebraska, Notre Dame, Alabama, Georgia, and Kentucky.

After the Wolverines landed the four-star recruit, Twitter took notice. Here are the best Twitter reactions we could find after the maize and blue landed a big, big 2024 target.

What is Michigan getting in four-star EDGE Jacob Smith (@jjls_14)? A great mix of a high ceiling and a high floor and another big-time pass rusher.
