Michigan football seems to be regaining its lost momentum significantly. Today, multiple predictions indicated that Michigan might flip elite Notre Dame commit Ivan Taylor. The Wolverines have been competing with Alabama and Notre Dame for Taylor’s commitment, and it looks like Michigan might emerge victorious.
Taylor, ranked as a top 50 player nationally, is Notre Dame’s highest-ranked commit and would be a major win for Michigan. He would be Michigan’s second top-100 safety commit, joining Kainoa Winston, who is already committed.
The Wolverines intensified their efforts to recruit Taylor after another safety target, JaDon Blair, committed to Notre Dame, and it seems to have paid off. Taylor has the potential to end the 2025 cycle as a five-star player with a strong senior season.
A native of Florida, Taylor competes against some of the toughest competition in the country and possesses the skills to become a superstar at the next level. Predictions of Taylor flipping to Michigan followed two tweets from Sherrone Moore hinting at commitments. While the first tweet was believed to refer to elite tight end Andrew Olesh, who is set to commit on the 8th, the second tweet puzzled many until the predictions came in.
Lamar Morgan has excelled in recruiting so far. If Taylor flips, Morgan will have two top 100 defensive backs committed in the 2025 class, an impressive start for a coach with no prior Power Five experience. Keep an eye on Taylor’s commitment, which could happen anytime. Go blue!
