Spring football is officially underway, and the Michigan Wolverines spring game is just a month away. We still have a long way to go before the 2026 season, but the spring game is always a welcome checkpoint during the offseason. The start of spring ball also means that we are approaching arguably the most critical time of year for recruiting. Let\u2019s discuss the latest updates in today\u2019s Recruiting Roundup:<\/p>\n
Louis Esposito scheduling official visits<\/p>\n
Louis Esposito<\/a>, the son of former Michigan football defensive line coach Lou Esposito, committed to the Wolverines last July. His dad was one of the few coaches that head coach Kyle Whittingham kept on the staff, but he left to take a job with the Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n Now, the three-star offensive lineman out of Saline is exploring his options a bit more. According to a report from Rivals\u2019 Allen Trieu ($)<\/a>, Esposito has unofficial visits scheduled at Iowa, Notre Dame, Penn State and USC during the spring. He will be at Michigan\u2019s spring game on April 18, and he also locked in his official visit with the Wolverines for June.<\/p>\n Esposito was also in town last week for an unofficial visit, and he is expected back a few other times this spring as well, including for the aforementioned spring game. It\u2019s unclear whether he will reopen his recruitment or not, but you have to raise an eyebrow any time a committed prospect takes visits to other schools. We\u2019ll keep you posted on this one.<\/p>\n Michigan a stand out school for 2027 ATH<\/p>\n Michigan is in good position as of now for 2027 three-star athlete Tytan DeJong<\/a>. The staff has strong connections to the Utah native, and the Wolverines are among are a group of schools standing out.<\/p>\n \u201cI would say that Cal, Michigan and BYU stand out to me because of the culture they have set in each of their programs,\u201d DeJong recently told 247Sports\u2019 Blair Angulo ($)<\/a>. \u201cEveryone is going to have the fancy bells and whistles and equipment, but it really comes down to the coaching and the culture for me and I feel like Cal, Michigan and BYU all do that very well.\u201d<\/p>\n Alex Whittingham, Michigan\u2019s new linebackers coach, is the primary recruiter for DeJong, as it appears the Wolverines want him on defense.<\/p>\n \u201cI mainly talk to coach Alex Whittingham at Michigan and we have a great connection,\u201d DeJong said. \u201cWe talk weekly. And they talk about how I can be the next great linebacker to come out of the University of Michigan. We are also talking about getting me up there for some spring practices and an official visit. I am looking at the final weekend of May, and I\u2019d like to get out there with another guy that Michigan is recruiting hard, Peyton Higginson.\u201d<\/p>\n DeJong has an official visit scheduled at BYU for the weekend of June 19, and it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise to see him eventually book one for Michigan as well.<\/p>\n Four-star DL talks recent Michigan visit<\/p>\n 2027 four-star defensive lineman Marvin Nguetsop<\/a> was on campus on Monday, and he enjoyed his trip.<\/p>\n
