The Michigan Wolverines made another recruiting splash just a day before Early Signing Day. This time, they flipped the commitment of four-star edge rusher Nick Marshall away from the Auburn Tigers. 

Marshall picked Michigan in the spring but switched his commitment to Auburn in the fall. Now, with just a day to go before signing day, Marshall is back as part of Michigan's class. 

Michigan has pulled off a slew of recruiting flips over the last few weeks, with the likes of quarterback Bryce Underwood, safety Jordan Young, and now Marshall. They are also looking to flip another five-star away from an SEC program to join their 2025 class. 

Head coach Sherrone Moore played a pivotal role in bringing Marshall back into the fold. Marshall was one of the first recruits that Moore saw as head coach during the winter contact period. After a slow start to the season and some NIL battles, Marshall committed to Auburn. Moore stayed on him and convinced him to return to Michigan. 

Marshall becomes the second edge rusher in Michigan's recruiting class, joining three-star Julius Holly. The Wolverines will have to replace likely all three of Josaiah Stewart, Derrick Moore, and TJ Guy, so it's a prudent move to add as much depth as they can in this recruiting class. 

He becomes commit number 21 in Michigan's class. This class will likely finish with 25-26 recruits if Michigan has its way moving forward.  

Just a few weeks ago, the Wolverines were on the outside looking in on the top ten recruiting classes of 2025. Now, they sit seventh in the country and are making a serious push for a top-five class. Their reorganized NIL program has turned their recruiting prowess completely around.
