Michigan had just the 17th-ranked recruiting class in the 2023 cycle, according to the Composite. The Wolverines won the Big Ten and made it into the College Football Playoff in consecutive years, but Michigan failed to capitalize on a giant haul in the recruiting sphere.
While in the eyes of recruiting analysts Michigan didn’t have a top 10 class, if you ask the coaches, the Wolverines found some gems in the class.
ESPN came out with an article naming 39 freshmen who all possess a unique skill ($) entering 2023. The Wolverines had one freshman on the list, and it may surprise some fans — since he hasn’t had the publicity as some freshmen.
Running back Cole Cabana was picked by ESPN as having the best pass-catching skills of any running back entering college this season.
