Twitter Reacts To Michigan Football Landing 4-star Edge Rusher Elias Rudolph

In this story:
Although Michigan has the No. 4 recruiting class for the 2024 cycle, the Wolverines have taken some hits lately. Michigan lost cornerback Bryce West to Ohio State, corners Jameer Grimsley and Terhyon Nichols to Alabama and Kentucky, and most recently five-star defensive tackle Justin Scott to the Buckeyes.
But on Monday, the Wolverines received a commitment from a big-time target.
Four-star Edge rusher, Elias Rudolph, committed to the Wolverines over Pittsburgh and Miami. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound Deerfield Beach (Florida) product is the 291st-ranked prospect in the 2024 cycle according to the Composite.
After the maize and blue landed their 25th commitment in the class, Twitter went nuts, and we are going to show you the best reactions we could find.
