On the heels of a perfect 15-0 record and capturing the 2024 National Championship, the Michigan Wolverines are looking to capitalize on all of that success on the recruiting trail. Head coach Sherrone Moore has done a phenomenal job of rebuilding the U-M staff in the wake of Jim Harbaugh’s departure to Los Angeles, and it looks like the Wolverines are on track to sign a 2025 recruiting class that  could ultimately land within the top 10 nationally.

According to 247Sports, Michigan's 2025 recruiting class is currently ranked No. 12 nationally and No. 4 within the Big Ten Conference, trailing only Penn State, Oregon, and Ohio State. Although Michigan ranks No. 12 nationally, the average rating per recruit is actually good for No. 8 in the country (No. 3 within the B10 Conference).

Here's a look at the Top 10 2025 recruiting classes based on average rating per recruit:

1. Alabama – 94.44
2. Ohio State – 93.89
3. Oregon – 93.88
4. LSU – 93.29
5. Georgia – 93.14
6. Florida State – 92.89
7. Clemson – 92.83
8. Michigan – 91.61
9. Texas A&M – 91.49
10. Notre Dame – 91.07
