Linebacker Jaden Smith from West Charlotte (N.C.) High committed to Michigan on Monday during a livestream on Instagram.
Smith, rated three stars by On3, had offers from USC, Virginia Tech, Kentucky, and Utah, among others. He is Michigan’s 19th commitment to the 2024 class, which is ranked No. 2 by 247Sports Composite.
The 6-foot-3, 201-pounder Smith also is the Wolverines’ third commitment from the Charlotte area, joining quarterback Jadyn Davis (Providence Day) and receiver Channing Goodwin (Providence Day). He is Michigan’s second commitment in two days — Princeton (N.J.) Hun defensive lineman Owen Wafle, rated four stars by 247Sports Composite, pledged to the Wolverines on Sunday.
