Michigan football has secured a verbal commitment from four-star offensive tackle Jakari Lipsey, boosting their 2027 recruiting class ranking from 40th to 30th. Lipsey is now the top-ranked player in the class and the No. 66 recruit nationally according to 247Sports.
Michigan football secured its highest-rated commitment thus far in the 2027 recruiting cycle, having procured a verbal pledge from Kalamazoo (Mich.) Loy Norrix four-star offensive tackle Jakari Lipsey. Lipsey chose the Wolverines over LSU, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Minnesota, and quickly became the top-ranked player in the class, according to 247Sports, which has him as the No. 66 player in the country, regardless of position.
For the maize and blue, it's a little bit of gain some and lose some, given that they lost four-star safety commit Darrell Mattison just a week ago.
Now with Lipsey in the fold, Kyle Whittingham's team is back to climbing in the team rankings once again. Having been ranked 40th before his pledge, the Wolverines stand to move up to 30th per the 247Sports Composite, supplanting Ole Miss, which previously held the spot.
Michigan has but six commitments in the class at the moment, with four composite four-stars and two three-stars. Though 247Sports' proprietary is highest on Lipsey, he's still the highest via the composite, as he's one spot above the previously highest-ranking commit in Muskegon (Mich.) four-star edge rusher Recarder Kitchen, the No. 116 recruit in the country.
Here are the current commits, along with their highest ranking:
Jakari Lipsey is a four-star offensive tackle from Kalamazoo, Michigan, and he is currently the top-ranked player in the 2027 recruiting class, ranked No. 66 nationally by 247Sports.
After Jakari Lipsey's commitment, Michigan's recruiting class ranking improved from 40th to 30th in the 247Sports Composite rankings.
Jakari Lipsey chose Michigan over offers from LSU, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Minnesota.
