Michigan is seeking good news Wednesday when 2027 four-star Chicago (Ill.) Mt. Carmel wide receiver Quentin Burrell gets set to announce his commitment. His decision will be broadcast live on the Rivals YouTube Channel at 3 p.m. ET.

Burrell, who has been a long-time target for the Wolverines, will choose between them, Notre Dame, Missouri, and Arizona State. Multiple predictions are in for him to land at Michigan, so things are trending positively for the Wolverines heading into Wednesday.

As it appeared coming off spring camp, Burrell was expected to take an official visit to Michigan for Victor’s Weekend from June 19-21 before shutting down his recruitment. That trip is still on the table should he decide to don the maize and blue at the next level, but as of right now, officials will not be needed for him to pick a school.

Should Michigan come out on top, it’s due to the effort made by the current coaching staff to make Burrell one of their top options at the wide receiver position. Micah Simon, Jason Beck and Kyle Whittingham have all made a difference in helping separate the Wolverines from the rest of the pack. It also helps that Burrell has deep knowledge on the university itself because of all the times he’s been on campus with his sister, Kali, who just graduated from Michigan this spring and played for the women’s soccer team.

Burrell spent time inside Schembechler Hall twice this offseason when Michigan was holding spring practice. He first returned April 2 and then came back April 18 for the annual spring game. It’s also important to note that Burrell was at the spring game with Mt. Carmel teammate and 2027 four-star defensive back Tavares Harrington, who’s also trending to Michigan and is expected to announce a commitment May 22.
