The Michigan Wolverines football team added another piece to the defensive side of their 2024 recruiting class today in getting a commitment from 4* EDGE Dominic Nichols:

Nichols hails from Ijamsville, MD, and attends Oakdale HS. The 6'5", 240 lb. EDGE had interest from Penn State and Wisconsin as well as Michigan, but the Maize & Blue held off the other suitors to pick up Nichols. As it currently stands, Nichols ranks 433rd in the 247 composite, ranked (narrowly) as a 4* prospect. Nichols is now the second pure EDGE in Michigan's 2024 class, joining Devon Baxter, who committed on Monday. Further targets at the position include Jacob Smith and Elias Rudolph, both of whom could/should be making decisions in the near future.
Nichols will get his Hello this week. There is no content after the jump.
If Michigan's coaching staff wants an edge recruit, then I concur with them. Welcome, Dominic!
what's his comp?
after investing a whole 60 seconds in watching his film he doesn't seem to have the explosion/quickness on the snap, he sort of stands up. Of course that can be improved through coaching. And he has some nice long-stride speed.
Seems to have the frame to gain some good weight and maybe slide inside a bit?
Caveat, I have no fucking clu what I'm talking about. But I'm willing to learn.
If a kid is playing on the edge at 240 in high school, I'd assume he's going to become a Mike Morris type in an ideal scenario. That comp has been overused recently--some guys Michigan recruits are in fact DTs, not "3-techs" or whatever the term is--but it's what I'd imagine the staff is thinking here
yes, that sounds about right.
A lean 265/270 can still be explosive with his athleticism.
Assume you read TTB before pairing your comment? Sounds very similar to what Mangus said.
He does come out of his stance very poorly-but that will be quickly corrected. Otherwise he is nicely athletic and moves very well. He was 16 years old in the clip.
I saw the same thing, but note that Clemson was after him, which lends a lot of credence to his standing.
- Dominic Nichols ~ Mike Morris
- Devon Baxter ~ Braiden McGregor
- Elias Rudolph ~ Josh Uche
- Jacob Smith ~ Jaylen Harrell
Welcome, Mr. NIchols! Go Blue.
Congrats to the Dom for choosing wisely.
I don't really know what to look for on film, but he has a nice offer list.
My sources tell me he was silently committed to Georgia, Alabama, and OSU, but flipped to the good guys.
If M had a Nichols for every edge commit, they’d. . . uh. . . have. . . a Nichols.
Look, I thought something was there, okay? The only other idea was to call him Nic-Nic but I figured he might break me in half.
