Top-rated 2027 quarterback and major Michigan target could be favoring other schools

With Michigan in a recruiting "zone" for the 2026 class, they are starting to ramp up efforts in the 2027 class. There is no time to rest or pat oneself on the back when it comes to college football recruiting. If you are not reaching out to your targets, you can be sure that your competitors are, and athletes appreciate consistent contact and the feeling of being needed.

The biggest target for Michigan in the 2027 cycle has emerged as the top-rated quarterback in the class. Elijah Haven is an absolute star in the making. He is tall, strong, can sling it downfield with ease, and has a humble approach to his impending stardom. Michigan has been in heavy pursuit of Haven for over a year, and many recruiting sites have Michigan as an early favorite. That is not slowing down other schools, though, and after some recent visits, Haven had some very positive things to say about those schools.
