Could Michigan Football claim the former Georgia commit?

Even before Jaylen Heyward decommitted from Georgia, Michigan football was trying to land him an official visit.

College football recruiting is wild. That’s one of the few guarantees you can take to the bank, and on Tuesday, Michigan football got a new target. release of commitments / Jaylen Heyward from Georgia.

Heyward is a 5-foot-11, 180-pound safety from Rockledge, Florida. He was ranked No. 79 by the Sports 247 composite rankings and the fifth-best safety in his class.

Even before decommitting, Heyward talked about taking an official visit to Michigan football during the 2024 cycle, and perhaps that could still be in the works.

Heyward showed signs this spring that he wasn’t 100 percent committed to Georgia. He took official visits to UCF and Miami. In fact, Heyward made several trips to Miami – an official visit as well as an unofficial visit.

The Hurricanes are probably the team to beat in the rivalry right now, but Michigan football could certainly get in the mix.

How Michigan football can become a contender

Obviously, the fact that Heyward is from Florida will work in Miami’s favor. The Hurricanes also have more NIL to throw to, and Mario Cristobal is an elite recruit.

However, Michigan football also has a lot to sell. Steve Clinkscale was Michigan’s most active recruiter and he always does a good job of keeping the Wolverines around.

Looking at the development of Rod Moore and Makari Paige really can’t be detrimental to recruiting. Jacob Oden has already committed in the 2024 class. The state’s perspective is another blue-chipper, so there isn’t a huge need, but one safety is definitely not enough.

The Wolverines have become a top 100 safety Zaquan Patterson also, but According to EJ Holland they have never stopped recruiting Heyward.

Miami seems to have this momentum. If the Wolverines could get him on campus for a barbecue or something that would be significant.

Let’s see what happens. It’s interesting to know that Michigan hasn’t stopped recruiting Heyward, and now that he’s uncommitted again, I expect the recruiting to pick up.
