The Wolverines are making a strong play for 2028 running back Cartae Ligon, and it's paying off. Ligon's recent visit to Ann Arbor for a camp only solidified his positive feelings about Michigan. Running backs coach Tony Alford's efforts have made Ligon a top priority, and the relationship is growing stronger. Ligon's desire to compete and showcase his skills is a testament to his commitment and the Wolverines' appeal. With his impressive rushing stats from last season, Ligon's return visit for a game this fall is a positive sign for Michigan.
In other news, the Wolverines are also making headway with offensive lineman Jace Montgomery. Montgomery, a No. 277 overall prospect, recently visited Ann Arbor and was impressed by the coaching staff, particularly offensive line coach Jim Harding. Montgomery's leadership skills at center and his positive feedback about the coaching staff and run game strategy make him a strong candidate for Michigan.
Additionally, the Wolverines are building momentum with edge rusher Asa Burch, who has already scheduled a return trip for the Week 2 showdown against Oklahoma. Burch's father, Alfie Burch, a former Wolverine, was impressed by the attention to detail during his visit. The family connection and Burch's multiple visits already under his belt position Michigan as a strong contender in his recruitment.
These developments showcase Michigan's ability to attract top talent and build strong relationships with recruits. The Wolverines' consistent efforts and positive feedback from prospects and their families are paying dividends. With these early impressions and the potential for further visits, Michigan is well-positioned to secure commitments from these highly-rated athletes.
