Hello: Zach Ludwig 2024 LB
First post so I’m sure this will be messed up, but Zach Ludwig has committed to the good guys.

I would nitpick about the lack of info in this recruiting post, but there's essentially no information on this kid online. His 247 page is barren. He doesn't seem to have a Hudl and I can barely find a picture of what this kid looks like. This is maybe the least information I've ever found for what I believe is a scholarship commit
EDIT: According to his Instagram commitment, he will be on scholarship
His Hudl has been found by another mwolverine1 below: Hudl

Smells like a PWO. No ratings, no other offers. Unless this was some gem of a camp find I'd bet this he's a PWO
February 6th, 2023 at 10:54 AM ^
It's possible but Steve Wiltfong usually doesn't tweet about PWOs
February 6th, 2023 at 10:56 AM ^
Yes, and you wouldn't normally announce PWOs this early in the cycle.
February 6th, 2023 at 10:55 AM ^
Yeah, not much out there. Welcome aboard, nonetheless, and GO BLUE!

I was definitely going to add information about him, but I also looked at his recruiting pages and found basically nothing. So I figured some news was better than no news lol
February 6th, 2023 at 10:57 AM ^
A barren profile plus hailing from South Park had me thinking this was a troll job. Maybe he's Amish or something.
February 6th, 2023 at 11:08 AM ^
Can't say the South Park part didn't have me thinking the same lol
February 6th, 2023 at 11:19 AM ^
Letterkenny.

The less we know about a prospect, the more excited I get about them. I'd be willing to wager a hefty dollar that Jim Harbaugh's success rate with nondescript prospects no one has heard of is significantly higher than everyone else.
Dude can evaluate with the best of them.
February 6th, 2023 at 10:53 AM ^
Pretty limited data on this kid, but you won't see me complaining about getting an LB!
February 6th, 2023 at 10:54 AM ^
Welcome aboard, Mr. Ludwig.
May you be as sneaky good and under the radar as Jordan Kovacs
February 6th, 2023 at 11:40 AM ^
Kovacs was ok but he started due to holes in RR recruiting and could be a liability at times.
February 6th, 2023 at 11:47 AM ^
Whoever Neg’d the above clearly doesn’t remember the RR days. Kovacs did well for himself but sometimes to compete properly you need better. That’s not a knock on Kovacs.
February 6th, 2023 at 12:06 PM ^
Yeah, Kovacs was a great find, no doubt. But you take a Dax Hill over Kovacs any time...
February 6th, 2023 at 1:30 PM ^
Of course you would take Dax over Kovacs, but Kovacs was much better than most safeties (all Big 10 honorable mention a few times and played a few years in the NFL).
February 7th, 2023 at 4:22 PM ^
And he could do your taxes and give an amusing speech about Drew Dileo.
February 6th, 2023 at 10:55 AM ^
Interesting, a bit early to announce a 2024 PWO. My guess is that he is a camp find - we will find out soon enough!
We had a lot of success with the camp finds in the 2015-2018 timeframe. Either way, welcome to Michigan Football and GO BLUE!
February 6th, 2023 at 10:55 AM ^
Is this a PWO? Or one of those Aaron Alexander, Davonte Miles, Casey Finney, Tyrece Woods "offers" that are basically filler until NSD?
February 6th, 2023 at 10:57 AM ^
I know a little about this kid. His grandfather, Vincent Ludwig, tried to assassinate Queen Elizabeth in the late 1980s. But thanks to the excellent police work of Frank Drebin, and with the help of O.J. Simpson, his plan was foiled and the queen was saved!
February 6th, 2023 at 11:01 AM ^
KAHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 6th, 2023 at 12:22 PM ^
After reading the name I immediatley went to the meat factory scene,
Drebin is calling out, "Ludwig!!"
February 6th, 2023 at 12:39 PM ^
That OJ Simpson, always saving lives!
February 6th, 2023 at 2:48 PM ^
My parents live on a golf course in Florida. Dad swears he saw O.J. one day out the back window searching for the real killers.
February 6th, 2023 at 10:58 AM ^
Welcome young man!
February 6th, 2023 at 11:02 AM ^
First - and sincerely, my congratulations to Zach and wishes for him to do well - excel - and enjoy his experience in Ann Arbor.
And, on a side note - I'm wondering if he's also considering participating in Michigan's Drum Line when they take the corner of the field - during games. His last name certainly fits that bill.
February 7th, 2023 at 10:22 AM ^
You're thinking of Zach Yamaha, his Japanese cousin
February 6th, 2023 at 11:03 AM ^
Based on the highlights, this is a, um, surprising pickup.
February 6th, 2023 at 11:12 AM ^
Yikes, the competition level looks like everything is in slow motion
February 6th, 2023 at 11:33 AM ^
You nailed it.... even have the link correctly done!
Bravo!
February 6th, 2023 at 11:33 AM ^
This is so weird. no comment here from me on if he's good or not, but:
-The only person I've seen report on this is Wiltfong
-Steve says he committed in November? and just no one knew or said anything?
- 247 lists him as hard commit since 11/29/22
- There is no info on him, like anywhere.
February 6th, 2023 at 11:46 AM ^
The Michigan fanbase investigative team is reporting he's a relative of a current UM football staffer. Rhymes with Hen Berbert.
February 6th, 2023 at 12:01 PM ^
ah yes.. Jen Sherbert!
February 6th, 2023 at 1:27 PM ^
Love that and blue moon!
February 6th, 2023 at 2:54 PM ^
Must keep Hen Berbert happy. He is extremely valuable to the program!
February 6th, 2023 at 12:22 PM ^
I have it on good authority that this recruit killed Kenny, you bastard.
February 6th, 2023 at 12:24 PM ^
Hudl highlights show him longsnapping. Possibly being brought in for that position?
February 6th, 2023 at 1:14 PM ^
Great Job...Virgin.
February 6th, 2023 at 1:21 PM ^
He commited back in November?
February 6th, 2023 at 1:32 PM ^
Googling his name, the top result is this thread lol. I'm a little skeptical.
February 6th, 2023 at 2:07 PM ^
There’s no way this is legitimate, Wiltfong aside. He’s a 6-3, 202-pound linebacker? He doesn’t exist on the Internet? He committed in November and we’re only finding out about it now?
This is not Harbaugh finding a guy that everybody else is underrating. This is a catfish.
February 6th, 2023 at 7:40 PM ^
It’s legitimate. Lots of bad takes in this thread.
February 6th, 2023 at 5:34 PM ^
He’s related to Ben Herbert. Harbaugh offered him. https://www.maizenbrew.com/michigan-football-recruiting/2023/2/6/23588026/michigan-wolverines-football-recruiting-commitment-2024-class-zach-ludwig-linebacker-jim-harbaugh

No main page Hello post still? Interesting.
February 6th, 2023 at 10:43 PM ^
Welcome aboard young man.
