Michigan Signs 22 Student-Athletes to 2025 Football Recruiting
The University of Michigan has officially welcomed 22 new student-athletes into its football program as part of the 2025 recruiting class, marking a major step forward in the Wolverines’ continued push for national dominance. Head coach Sherrone Moore and his staff unveiled the full list of signees during Wednesday’s National Signing Day celebration, with a blend of high-profile talent, local standouts, and promising under-the-radar additions making up one of the most balanced classes in recent years.
The 2025 class includes standout athletes from across the country, with recruits hailing from Michigan, Ohio, Georgia, California, Texas, and beyond. The group reflects the Wolverines’ commitment to building a roster that is not only athletic and competitive, but also strong in academics, character, and team culture.
“We couldn’t be more excited about this class,” Coach Moore said during the Signing Day press conference. “Each of these young men brings something unique to our program—whether it’s leadership, versatility, or just a passion for Michigan football. We’ve recruited players who love the game and want to be part of something special.”
Among the 22 signees are several nationally ranked prospects, including:
* **Jason Hamilton**, a four-star quarterback from Georgia, known for his poise under pressure and dual-threat capability.
* **Marcellus Grant**, a top-rated defensive back out of Texas who turned down multiple SEC offers to join the Maize and Blue.
* **Darian Brooks**, a powerful offensive lineman from Ohio, praised for his technique and toughness.
* **Tyrese Whitman**, a speedy wide receiver from California with big-play ability and elite hands.
Also notable in this class is the continued success Michigan has had in keeping top local talent in-state. Standouts like linebacker **Cameron Fields** and defensive end **Marcus Allen** both come from Michigan high schools and were highly sought after by rival programs.
Coach Moore and his staff emphasized that this class wasn’t just built on raw talent. “We’re recruiting future leaders—on and off the field,” Moore said. “These are young men who understand the responsibility of putting on the winged helmet.”
This class also highlights Michigan’s evolving approach in the NIL era and transfer-heavy college football landscape. The staff has continued to emphasize stability, player development, and long-term vision—values that resonated with recruits and their families throughout the process.
Many of the signees will enroll early, giving them the opportunity to participate in spring practices and gain valuable experience before the 2025 season begins. The Wolverines are expected to have a highly competitive roster next fall, and several freshmen may see playing time early depending on position needs and development.
Michigan’s 2025 recruiting class may not be ranked No. 1 overall, but it’s built with the program’s signature blend of toughness, intelligence, and integrity. It’s a group that fits the culture and is ready to continue the legacy of excellence in Ann Arbor.
