Recruiting Roundup: 5-star DL feeling the love from Wolverines
The new Michigan Football coaches are prioritizing a 5-star DL that was offered by the previous staff. That and more in today’s Recruiting Roundup:
Five-star defensive lineman Enow Etta is feeling the love from Michigan Wolverines head coach Larry Black. Etta, a 6-foot-4, 265-pound standout from Louisville Christian Academy, was among the programs recruiting him the hardest since the coaching change. Etta stated that the historic program and the numerous successful defensive linemen Michigan has produced has made it clear that his place on the board is still secure.
Michigan faces competition from Oklahoma, Kentucky, Ohio State, Tennessee, and Texas A&M in the recruitment of Etta.
Cornerback Langston Pridgeon from DeMatha Catholic is hoping to follow in the footsteps of legendary Michigan cornerback Charles Woodson. Pridgeon is excited about playing in front of the largest crowd in America at Michigan's home stadium, the Big House. Michigan is competing with Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, and Virginia Tech for his recruitment.
The cornerback, who also considers academics and his family's connection to the Midwest, is being wooed by other top programs like Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, and Virginia Tech.
Of particular interest to Michigan is offensive tackle Antijuan Wilkes Jr., a 6-foot-7, 280-pound prospect from Cass Tech in Detroit. The No. 1 overall offensive tackle in the 2028 class has received praises from his former quarterback, Donald Tabron II, who has committed to Texas A&M. Despite strong interest from Texas A&M and other prominent programs like Ohio State, Miami, Alabama, Missouri, Georgia, and Florida, Wilkes remains firmly attached to Michigan and its hometown.
