Michigan picked up another commitment from a prized recruit to boost its Class of 2026 haul with a pledge from edge rusher Carter Meadows.
Meadows is ranked 34th overall by 247 Sports in the Class of 2026 and was weighing offers from Ohio State, Penn State and South Carolina in addition to the Wolverines.
The 6-6, 225-pound pass rusher is one of six players with four-star rankings in the Class of 2026 to commit to Michigan since June 20. Rivals ranks Meadows as a five-star recruit and included North Carolina and Miami among his potential destinations before his commitment.
Meadows is ranked fifth among edge rushers in next year’s class by 247 Sports.
He was also on the radar of college basketball programs and plays in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League on the summer AAU circuit.
The Washington, D.C., native is the highest-rated overall prospect in the class to commit to Michigan.
