The Wolverines are set to begin spring practice next week, which means a bevy of recruits will also be on campus to get a close up look at how things are looking early on. That includes one of the top passers in the junior class.
Top-100 QB to visit Michigan next month
There’s a long way to go until ink dries on the national letters of intent for members of the 2028 recruiting cycle, but now is the time to lay the foundation for what’s to come down the road. Despite there being a perfectly suitable option in their backyard in this class in five-star Donald Tabron, the Wolverines are doing their due diligence on others at the quarterback position, including four-star Lukas Prock.
At 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds, the junior quarterback from The Hun School in New Jersey is a top-100 overall prospect according to Rivals, so it’s no wonder he’s a heavily wanted prospect. According to Rivals’ Chad Simmons ($), he has spring visits set to a ton of different schools, including Michigan for March 19. He’ll also be at Texas, Notre Dame, Auburn, LSU, Ohio State, Penn State and others this spring.
“Ohio State, Illinois, Michigan, Virginia Tech, Kentucky and Penn State are some schools that have my attention,” Prock said. “They stand out because of the type of programs they are and the culture. I also like all of the coaching staffs and I’m looking forward to continuing to build my relationships with them.”
When it comes to these spring trips, Prock is hoping to get a better sense of where he’d fit in. He also cited his relationships with the coaching staff, the culture, overall development and being “part of a program that can go for a national championship” as things he is looking for in his future school.
As a sophomore last season, Prock completed 226 of his 309 passes (73.1 percent) for 4,330 yards, 41 touchdowns and just seven interceptions.
Top RB target locks in OV
According to On3’s Ethan McDowell ($), 2027 four-star running back Noah Roberts has scheduled his official visit to Michigan for the weekend of June 19.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder from Chandler, Arizona has been a longtime top target of Tony Alford’s, having offered him back in Jan. 2025. He most recently visited for Michigan’s game vs Purdue in November, but that was when the old staff was still around. He has gotten familiar with the new coaching staff and appears to be pleased with the way they run the offense.
“I like Michigan and the new staff a lot,” Roberts told Rivals’ Greg Biggins ($). “They’re a run heavy team, I watched them at Utah and they always had a great running game and I can see them bringing that over to Michigan. They’re a physical team and I like the all around fit for me.”
The schools recruiting him the hardest as of now, per Biggins, are Michigan, Texas and Oregon. He plans on visiting those three schools, among others, this spring as well. Interestingly enough, he also hopes to shut things down this spring after those visits, meaning he would only end up taking one official visit to wherever he ends up committing to. We’ll have to wait and see what the No. 250 overall prospect in the country ends up doing.
Three-star Georgia LB to visit Michigan twice
One of the hottest names on the recruiting trail in the 2027 class is three-star linebacker Ethan Hauser. The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder plays at Buford High School, one of the most prestigious football schools in the country, and had a great junior year that has helped lead to his recruitment skyrocketing.
Schools like Florida, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Alabama, USC and others have offered him scholarships over the last handful of months, leading to a bunch of attention being thrown his way. Hauser never heard from the previous regime, but Michigan linebackers coach Alex Whittingham reached out to him shortly after his arrival to Ann Arbor and made it know he was a wanted player by the new coaching staff.
“I was extremely grateful,” Hauser told On3’s McDowell ($). “We had a good conversation. I got to know Coach Whittingham and just got to know a little bit about Michigan.
“They definitely turned my head. I definitely look forward to seeing where my relationship goes with them. I love the energy, I like the direction of the new staff and I look forward to building with them.”
Up next are two visits to Michigan in the span of a few months. First will be an unofficial visit on April 9, followed by his official visit the weekend of June 19, which will be the last of the summer for him. Hauser has also official visits locked in with Vanderbilt and Missouri.
2027 five-star cornerback Donte Wright, who is committed to Georgia, has scheduled his official visit to Michigan for the weekend of June 12.According to The Michigan Insider’s Brice Marich, two 2027 recruits will be visiting on April 11 — four-star defensive lineman Elijah Brown and four-star offensive lineman Jackson Roper.The Wolverines offered 2027 three-star offensive lineman Kendrayis Jones late last week.Finally, Michigan also recently offered 2027 four-star offensive lineman Cole Reiter.
