Michigan football continues to assert its dominance over Ohio State, riding a four-year winning streak that has turned the rivalry on its head. The Buckeyes, who thrived under Urban Meyer, have found the tides turning since Ryan Day took the helm in 2019, with a disappointing 1-4 record against their arch-rivals.
But the Wolverines aren’t just getting the better of the Buckeyes on the field; they’re also claiming victory on the recruiting front. This weekend, Michigan landed a significant commitment from Carter Meadows, a 6-foot-6 pass rusher from Washington, D.C.
Meadows announced his decision to become a Wolverine, choosing Michigan over heavyweights like Ohio State, Penn State, and South Carolina. His excitement was palpable as he took to social media to express his gratitude, stating, “I thank God for guiding me through it all. I’M HOME. Go Blue!!”
What stood out for Meadows during his recruitment was the history and tradition that the Michigan program embodies. He shared his admiration for the Wolverines’ legacy, noting, “I think their history of winning and tradition and upholding their standard of excellence in all walks of life, on the field and off the field that’s what makes it special.” This sentiment underscores the allure of Michigan’s storied program, which continues to resonate with top-tier recruits.
As the momentum builds for Michigan in this recruiting cycle, the implications are clear: the Wolverines are not only reclaiming their spot as the kings of college football on the field but are also positioning themselves for sustained success in the years to come. With the 2025 season on the horizon, this latest victory in recruiting adds another layer of intrigue to a rivalry that is rapidly evolving. Buckeye fans will certainly be watching closely, as Michigan’s resurgence shows no signs of slowing down.
