Overview

  • Quentin Burrell committed to Michigan on Wednesday during a Rivals stream, picking the Wolverines over Notre Dame, Arizona State and Missouri.
  • Michigan followed on Thursday with a pledge from four-star defensive lineman Xavier Muhammad, adding another blue-chip piece to the 2027 class.
  • The two additions pushed Michigan to No. 17 in the 247Sports team rankings, with Rivals now placing the class at No. 12.
  • Burrell, a 6-foot-3 Rivals300 receiver with 1,139 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior, cited the program’s culture after visits from assistants Micah Simon and Jason Beck and has a sister who played soccer at Michigan.
  • His announcement drew extra attention when he briefly put on a Notre Dame hat by mistake before switching to a Michigan cap.
