It’s been a while since Michigan has picked up a commitment in the 2021 recruiting class.

A long while.

In fact, Michigan hasn’t added a verbal pledge since Rivals100 quarterback JJ McCarthy, who is now the face of the class, picked the Wolverines back in May of last year.

The other half of the two-man 2021 class is Rivals100 offensive lineman Giovanni El-Hadi. He sided with Michigan two months prior to McCarthy pulling the trigger.

Now, it’s certainly not time for panic. Major programs like Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Oklahoma and Penn State have three commits or fewer. On top of that, the Wolverines hold commitments from Top 50 players nationally.

But the natives are getting restless.
