Jeremiah Lowe Has Committed To Michigan
Michigan has earned a second commitment from a 2024 corner in 3* Jeremiah Lowe from Lexington, KY:
CB Jeremiah Lowe commits to Michigan.
— Allen Trieu (@AllenTrieu) August 10, 2023
He says "I have no doubt this is the right spot."
His coach calls him "an elite athlete with great ball skills."https://t.co/n0xWMHpWCF pic.twitter.com/VZM3FyNqz2
This commitment comes on the heels of the Wolverines landing Jo'Ziah Edmond last week, as the team circles back to 3* corner options after losing out on the entirety of their top targets at the position in this recruiting class. Lowe is listed at 5'11, 170 lbs. and plays for Frederick Douglass HS in Lexington. He is currently ranked outside the top 1000 in the 247 composite, a 3* to all four services at this time. The team now has 28 commits in the 2024 recruiting class and maintains a top 10 class rank in each of the rankings.

Every recruiting cycle we should have at least one 3 star CB.
August 10th, 2023 at 5:35 PM ^
I think you mean “not more than one…’
Trust the coaches, yada yada, yada, and yes Michigan has been fortunate in that a few three stars worked out, but every recruiting cycle needs a highly ranked CB to make it more likely that at least one will pan out.
Right now, as a result of recruiting issues, the team isn’t sure who’s gonna be the second CB. Where would we be if didn’t have Will Johnson at least?
With the past happy offenses that exist throughout college football, this is becoming the most important position on defense. Stars matter on some level and more so at some positions.

Irrespective of the offense, the most important position on any defense remains a DT who can pressure up the middle. There is no single spot as disruptive to any brand of offense. I would take a Mo Hurst over a top corner.
August 10th, 2023 at 6:22 PM ^
I don’t necessarily disagree with you but I think I would take Charles Woodson before Mo.
Now Ndamuking Su might have been the most disruptive college player I ever remember.

It is starting to reflect that to a degree based on NFL contracts but Bosa is about to blow everyone out of the water with his next contract so I still think DE. But DE DT and CB seem to to be the 3 based on $$$.
August 10th, 2023 at 6:32 PM ^
Yeah I mean CB has often been one of the weaker spots on the defense. A lot of 3 star CBs have been quite good, especially long guys who aren't that fast, but definitely not as good as you'd like going up against WRs like OSU has. Of course we have a great chance to make it 3 in a row, but if Michigan loses The Game, my money would be on WRs for OSU running too open as the main reason. Really hoping they finally get a not-amazing year from a frigging QB.
August 10th, 2023 at 6:55 PM ^
I mean, any time you lose 2 of the 3 corners that see the vast majority of snaps you’re going to have questions around who steps into that CB2 role.
August 10th, 2023 at 7:30 PM ^
I agree they need to take a higher-rated corners when possible but having disruptive ends and tackles feels just as important for a pass defense. Georgia's big problem last year against OSU wasn't so much that their corners got eaten up but that they couldn't consistently get pressure on Stroud.
UM whiffing on a lot of their top targets at corner isn't great, though again with how recruiting goes I wouldn't be surprised if they got back in on a guy or two if those programs struggle.

We need studs at corner, no question. If you think Marvin Harrison Jr. is good, just wait until Jeremiah Smith shows up in Columbus. OSU is not letting up in WR recruiting.
August 10th, 2023 at 8:12 PM ^
Right? What do these coaches know? What have they done that we should trust them? Lol.
August 10th, 2023 at 11:53 PM ^
A Venn diagram of Georgia’s starting CBs and 3-star CBs consists of 2 circles that don’t overlap.
August 11th, 2023 at 5:09 AM ^
What about Iowa? They seem to field a good secondary that forces quite a few turnovers if I recall correctly
August 11th, 2023 at 8:37 AM ^
And Georgia's starting cornerback, Kelee Ringo, was drafted in the 4th round of the NFL draft while UM's 3.5 star DJ Turner was selected in the 2nd. Shockingly how a player develops is just as important as how he looked in HS.
I get your point about talent to build from but I swear this site has the same argument every time a non-top 250 kid signs and then every time those guys graduate we're all like "hmm, turned out to be a pretty good player".
August 11th, 2023 at 12:51 PM ^
How often does a player go from 4.6 in HS to 4.2 at combine?
August 10th, 2023 at 5:05 PM ^
Our recruiting has really hit a Lowe point.
August 10th, 2023 at 5:11 PM ^
Welcome, Mr. Lowe. Go, Blue!
August 10th, 2023 at 8:25 PM ^
Can't wait for JoJo's commitment post. Dude has confidence for days and claims a 7 foot wingspan.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:57 AM ^
The more I hear about JoJo the more I’m convinced he’s going to be a steal. He’s also only been playing corner for like 1 season. Dude is raw but already making plays
August 11th, 2023 at 1:44 AM ^
Seems so odd that Clinkscale who is known to be a top recruiter, whiffed, especially after the season we had. Maybe because was going all in on the top guys who both happened to be from Ohio and picked OSU. Yet it still seems odd. If it happens again next year, his recruiting reputation will suffer.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:08 AM ^
Secure a 3* and then go for the 4/5* players. Develop the 3* and have them stay for the full years.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:47 AM ^
People would still complain. Remember when michigan took Ben Hall (and Kaapana when Tatum was still out there), people complained. It's pretty clear that the OSU guys were the top targets but sometimes the fall back guys turn out fine also.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:41 AM ^
Curious to read the Hello post about these last two CB's. I know we all want 4/5 star players but there's a tangible difference between hardly scouted and highly scouted 3-star players. Not being a recruitnik, I have no idea which category these gents fall into.
And since someone will ask/comment - yes of course I'd have rather gotten Aaron Scott or Bryce West, but I also trust the staff's evaluation and development skills. They've proven they can find undervalued, lower rated recruits and develop them into really good players.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:01 AM ^
I really think JoJo is going to be a steal. Only been playing CB for a short time, 6’1” with a 7’ wingspan, already showing out at camps, and Ryan Walters wanted him
August 11th, 2023 at 11:15 PM ^
Big Boutros loves this guy and frankly that is all I need
