Michigan rises in On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings following Jyaire Hill commitment

Michigan added its 23rd commitment Wednesday afternoon as Kankakee (Ill.) four-star cornerback Jyaire Hill picked the Wolverines over Kentucky, Florida, Illinois, Purdue and Missouri. His decision elevated the Wolverines’ 2023 recruiting class to No. 18 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings.

The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Hill is the No. 197 overall prospect and No. 25 cornerback for the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s ranked as the No. 3 player in Illinois as well.

Hill is the third highest-ranked player in Michigan’s 2023 class and keeps the Wolverines as the No. 3 class in the Big Ten.

Hill has an On3 NIL Valuation of $18K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. 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.
