In a surprising turn on the recruiting trail, Michigan may be on the verge of losing one of its prized 2025 commitments. A recent wave of insider reports and recruiting buzz suggests that a four-star prospect currently committed to the Wolverines is now heavily leaning toward flipping to a top ACC program.
The recruit, a highly-rated wide receiver from the Southeast, committed to Michigan earlier this year in a move that surprised many analysts, especially considering his strong ties to several programs closer to home. Michigan’s coaching staff had built a strong relationship with the player and his family, selling him on the school’s academic reputation, NFL development pipeline, and recent College Football Playoff success. But as the summer has progressed, the tide appears to be turning.
Sources close to the recruitment now indicate that Florida State is making a serious push to flip the receiver’s commitment, with momentum building in recent weeks. The Seminoles have been in close contact, bringing him in for multiple visits and emphasizing their explosive offense, immediate playing time, and growing success under head coach Mike Norvell. With Florida State trending upward both on the field and in recruiting, the pitch has reportedly resonated with the player and his inner circle.
While the flip hasn’t happened yet, recruiting analysts across multiple platforms have begun to adjust their predictions, putting the ACC school as the favorite to land the talented wideout. If it goes through, it would be a major blow to Michigan’s 2025 class — not just from a talent perspective
