Social media reactions to Michigan landing 2025 WR Phillip Wright

Michigan added its 16th member of its 2025 recruiting class on Saturday night. Three-star wide receiver Phillip Wright chose the Wolverines over LSU and Georgia. Wright is now the second WR committed to Michigan and just like four-star WR Jacob Washington, Wright hails from Louisiana. Wright plays at Destrehan (LA) and is another gadget receiver for the Wolverines to use.
Wright stands at 5-foot-11 and excels at track. He has run a 4.52 40-yard dash, a 10.46 100 meter, and 21.41 200 meters. According to the Composite, Wright is the 540th-ranked prospect in the 2025 class and the 33rd-best wide receiver.
Once Wright pledged his commitment to Michigan, social media burst out with reactions. Here are some of the best reactions to Wright committing to Michigan over a couple of SEC powers.
