Los Angeles— A major percentage of Michigan’s newest recruiting class recently began their college careers.
Ten players that signed with the Wolverines as part of the 2024 recruiting class on Wednesday, December 20, have enrolled at Michigan and begun practice ahead of the team’s College Football Playoff run.
Eight of the ten players have traveled out west with Michigan for Monday’s Rose Bowl versus Alabama (5 p.m. ET, ESPN).
The roster includes four-star quarterback Jadyn Davis, four-star tight end Brady Preiskorn from nearby Rochester, and four-star offensive tackle Blake Frazier.
Jeremiah Beasley, a four-star linebacker from Belleville who attended Michigan’s practice prior of signing day, is also on the trip.
“I love it. It’s incredibly wonderful just to have that opportunity,” Beasley told MLive last week. “I know that I’m not playing (in the bowl game), but to just be able to practice, get out there and give them a look for the Alabama game, I’m just really excited.”
In recent years, true-freshmen football players have benefited from the accelerated signing timeline, allowing them to enroll before the winter semester and begin practicing in late December. It is up to the team to decide if they can travel to (or even participate in) a bowl game.
The list also includes four-star athlete Jacob Oden from Harper Woods, three-star offensive tackle Jake Guarnera, three-star edge rusher Dominic Nichols and three-star linebacker Cole Sullivan.
Two more signees, four-star tight end Hogan Hansen and four-star offensive tackle Andrew Sprague, have enrolled but have not traveled to Southern California. Sprague, of Kansas City, will participate in the All-American Bowl on January 6 in San Antonio, Texas.
