Michigan football still isn’t done on the 2025 recruiting trail, but it’s simultaneously turning its attention not only to 2026, but also 2027.
Against Oregon, the Wolverines hosted the No. 1 player in the country in 2027 in five-star quarterback Elijah Haven. But not all eggs are in that basket. There’s another who has an offer from the maize and blue who is strongly considering Michigan as his potential future destination.
Enter Mundelein (Ill.) Carmel Catholic four-star quarterback Trae Taylor. The 2027 prospect who is 6-foot-2, 170 pounds revealed his early top 12 and Michigan made the cut along with Nebraska, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Tennessee, South Carolina, Ole Miss, NC State, Iowa, West Virginia, Illinois, and LSU.
Though that’s a big range of suitors, the fact that the Wolverines have already offered (that offer came in June 2023) shows that they’ve laid some ground work. There’s a long time until his cycle and things could ebb and flow, but it’s a positive sign to see Michigan in a good spot at this juncture.
Rivals is the only service that has rated Taylor at this point, and he’s the No. 33 player in the 2027 clas according to the recruiting site.
