Michigan football recruiting for the 2027 cycle is starting to heat up, after seeing some ups and downs following the hire of new head coach Kyle Whittingham. Whittingham lost a few of the pledges, acquired more, and even saw one of his new commits back off his pledge a month later. However, the class is progressing, and with official visits starting later this month, the Wolverines are continuing to add to the group.

One target who was predicted to end up in Ann Arbor earlier this week was 2027 Indianapolis (Ind.) Franklin Central four-star edge rusher Jayce Brewer. Ranked by Rivals as the No. 214 player in the country, Brewer has offers from Ohio State, Indiana, Tennessee, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Miami, Oregon, Penn State, Texas A&M, and USC, among others. However, he ultimately pledged his commitment to the maize and blue.
