The Michigan Wolverines are making serious noise on the recruiting trail, and their 2027 class just got a whole lot stronger. After climbing from No. 29 to No. 17 earlier this week following wide receiver Quentin Burrell's commitment, the maize and blue have now surged to No. 13 in the 247Sports team rankings—and they're eyeing the top 10.
The latest boost comes from four-star running back Tyson Robinson, who announced his pledge to Michigan on Saturday afternoon. Hailing from Jackson (Miss.) Brandon, Robinson's commitment vaulted the Wolverines past Big Ten rivals Wisconsin and Minnesota, as well as national programs like Texas and Washington. With 11 commits now on board, Michigan sits just behind Texas Tech, Kentucky, and No. 10 Ohio State—who also has 11 pledges. According to 247Sports, the class features eight four-star prospects and three three-star standouts.
Over at Rivals, the Wolverines also made a leap, moving from No. 13 to No. 12 after surpassing the Longhorns. UCLA holds at No. 11, while LSU (10th), Oregon (9th), and Ohio State (8th) round out the top 10 ahead of Michigan. Rivals counts seven four-stars and four three-stars in the class.
