Also gotta look at the overall score by average player rating. It's a key thing.

Which is why MSU is DOOOOOOOOMED

Michigan lands 4* DL Jerod Smith, and now currently has the #1 class. Jeem doing work.

#Nebraska lands the son of Willis McGahee III, a former NFL running back. Welcome to the fam, Willis 🥳 #GBR

buzz from 247Sports top national 'crootin analyst Steve Witflong and the OSU247 mods/site as well is that 4* CB Aaron Scott (6'0, 170) of Ohio, the #61 player overall in the nation, #7 CB, and #2 player in the state of Ohio in the 247Composite- is leaning Michigan. Would be a huge get for Jeem to land #2 and #3 players in Ohio and pair of top 100 overall kids- one at CB and the other at RB (Jordan Marshall). 

It'll be a battle for Jeem to hang onto the lead and get the kid to sign, but right now appears to be Michigan-OSU-Oregon battle with Jeem holding the edge at the moment.

This was a wild one. Came down to UW and Nebraska, I glean, since he visited UNL just last weekend. MSU, Pitt and PSU were the others in his top 5, but I don't think the PSU offer was real.

4* EDGE Brian Robinson (6'5, 255) from the state of Ohio scheduled his official to Michigan. Robinson is rated as the #125 player overall in the nation, #11 EDGE, and #4 player in the state of Ohio in the 247Composite. He's brand new to the position, just started playing EDGE/DE as a junior- he had been playing QB/WR before from what I understand. His size/frame and athletic profile all look A+ - which is probably why he's ranked so high at the moment- because apparently he just hasn't played the position much yet. Could be one that rises up the ranking boards with a big senior season- because when you see the kid looks like the freaking prototype OLB/DE in terms of size/length/frame. 

Jeem attacking the state of Ohio hard right now. Love it.

5* QB Bryce Underwood (6'3, 210) - the #1 QB and #3 player overall in the nation in the 247Composite for the 2025 class making an unofficial visit to Michigan today. This has got to be like the 4th or 5th visit in the last month plus since Matt Weiss was fired and new QB coach Kirk Campbell was announced.

Huge news and he's by far my #1 wishlist with a bullet for the 2025 class. He's going to wind up the #1 player in the '25 class when it's all said and done and he's the best QB prospect to come out of the state of Michigan since Drew Henson, and it's not really close. He may just wind up being the best QB prospect to come along since Trevor Lawerence if he continues on the development arc he's been on since he was like a 13 year old freshman starting for varsity. I believe he's a year young for his grade- he's only like 15 and already 6'3-ish with A+ athleticism and a rocket launcher arm.

Michigan was dead in the water with this one, but they are right back in it near the top. LSU, Bama, and Ohio State are all coming after him hard though and will be a pain in the ass.

Jadyn Davis is a really good QB prospect. Underwood is next level.

Dylan Raiola still trending toward Georgia, but USC, Nebraska 'hanging around' for No. 1 QB (247sports.com)

Where do you think he should go?  (I'd say USC at this point.)

hard to discount Lincoln Riley's track record with QBs. If I was a top rated QB, I think USC and Ohio State would be my top choices.

Yup

What is the appeal here of Nebraska?  Starting first year?  NIL?

He likely would not start first year at UGA, he might later in the year, he'd get some PT for sure.  They are pretty loaded at QB right now if nobody portals.  I presume Beck (probable starter this year) will NFL out next draft, leaving a couple younger guys who are said to be quite talented.

His dad went to UNL and starred at center. His uncle is the OL coach at UNL (he played at UW).
