It’s commitment day for 2023 West Bloomfield (Mich.) High four-star interior offensive lineman Amir Herring. Michigan Wolverines football is firmly in the mix, a finalist to secure his pledge. The finalists along with the Wolverines are Boston College, Missouri and Nebraska.

Herring is the No. 276 overall player, No. 17 interior offensive lineman and fourth-best prospect in the state of Michigan, per the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Watch his commitment live below. The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. ET.

Info on four-star OL Amir Herring

Herring took official visits to all four finalists last month — Nebraska June 3, Boston College June 10, Michigan June 17 and Missouri June 24. The Cornhuskers appeared to be the favorite at the beginning of June, but Michigan put on the full-court press towards the middle of the month and is now the top contender.

Michigan holds a commanding lead on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM), the industry’s first algorithm and machine learning-based product to predict where athletes will attend college, with a 93.2-percent chance to land the four-star. TheWolverine.com‘s EJ Holland placed an expert prediction for Herring to land at Michigan last December, while Nebraska On3 insider Bryan Munson projected the four-star to end up in Ann Arbor with a pick earlier this week.

Herring has a $9,500 On3 NIL Valuation, which is the industry’s leading index that sets the standard market NIL value for high school and college-level athletes. The On3 NIL Valuation is comprised of many dynamic data points that focus on three primary categories: Social media following and engagement, athlete data, achievements, performance and media sentiment and endorsement deals, opportunities and collectives.

If Herring chooses Michigan, he’d become the ninth commitment in the Wolverines’ 2023 class, which is currently ranked 32nd in the nation.

Here’s what Herring had to say to TheWolverine.com following his official visit to Ann Arbor: “The visit went really well. I felt like it was a really big trip for me and my family. It was more detailed. I got to spend more time learning about the academics and the networking system at Michigan. I feel like it was more detailed than all of my past unofficial visits. You could truly see the family environment there. Overall, it was just a really good weekend for me and my family.”

He clicked with head coach Jim Harbaugh and co-offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore.

“Coach Moore talked to me about the vision he sees for me and the program,” Herring said. “He talked to me about the academics at Michigan, the networking system, the alumni and everything that makes Michigan a special place.  

“Coach Harbaugh is really down to earth. He really loves football. Overall, he’s a really good coach. He knows how to get guys to the next level. That’s what I really like about him.”
