Michigan offers 4-star ATH Kam Mikell
Statesboro (Ga.) four-star athlete Kam Mikell received an offer from Michigan on Thursday. He announced the news over Twitter.
Mikell is the No. 327 overall prospect and No. 28 athlete in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 42 player in Georgia.
The 6-foot-0.5, 180-pound recruit holds 24 offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Georgia has a commanding lead for 94.0%.
“I kind of wanted to hurry up and figure out the schools that talk to me the most,” Mikell told On3’s Jeremy Johnson on Jan. 23. “I could sit here all day with the ones that I have now, but at the end of the day, I need to make my decision sooner or later. I’m going into my senior season so I need to figure that stuff out.”
Mikell also told Johnson he has already set official visits to two schools. They are Georgia and Kentucky.
“That connection with coach Fran (Brown) is really good,” Mikell said of Georgia. “We get on the phone and talk probably every day. With Georgia, I love that they’re changing the era of college football. I love Alabama they’ve been my favorite team, but Georgia is making it different. They’re making it seem like Alabama used to. They’re difference makers.”

“They took their chance and that’s what I like about them,” he added about Kentucky. “I love when I go up there. It’s a different feeling. It’s not like it is around here in Georgia.”
Mikell also plans to visit Auburn “most likely” in the spring, according to Cole Pinkston of Auburn Live. He received his offer from assistant head coach/running backs coach Cadillac Williams.
“My coach told me he was an Hall of Famer, so that’s big time,” Mikell said. “Auburn is a great school. A lot big names came out from there.”
Mikell has an On3 NIL Valuation of $40K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
