Michigan Football Recruiting: Navigating Coaching Change

The unexpected departure of Sherrone Moore from Michigan Football has caused uncertainty in the recruiting world, particularly for the 2026 class.

However, the Wolverines have lost two commits since Moores departure, highlighting the immediate challenges in maintaining recruiting momentum.
