Why Dakota Guerrant Has Become a Must-Get Target for Michigan in 2027

Through the first five games of the season, Michigan’s receiving corps has dropped 14 passes from freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood. While that figure is not catastrophic compared to other national contenders, it highlights a lingering issue that has limited the Wolverines’ offensive balance in recent years. The staff has made it clear that addressing those inconsistencies is a top priority, and recruits like Dakota Guerrant have become essential pieces of that plan. Guerrant, a four-star wide receiver out of Harper Woods High School (just three hours from Ann Arbor), ranks No. 38 overall in the Rivals Industry 2027 Rankings and stands as one of Michigan’s highest-priority in-state targets. In this article, I’ll examine what makes Guerrant such a unique prospect and why he represents a must-get recruit for the Wolverines in the 2027 cycle.
