High EDGE Jaylen Williams on Monday, recap all five targets who were in Ann Arbor for official visits last weekend and look ahead to the seven prospects locked in for officials to campus in a few days, including Top 100 Oradell (N.J.) wide receiver Quincy Porter, on The Wolverine Live Tuesday Recruiting Show.

Watch the full show above.

Porter Recruitment

Porter’s upcoming official visit to Michigan will be his fourth return after last checking out the reigning College Football Playoff winners in April during spring camp practice. Wide receivers coach Ron Bellamy, area recruiter Grant Newsome, and head coach Sherrone Moore are prioritizing Porter as a deep threat weapon.

Michigan holds a slight lead for Porter on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, with Ohio State not too far behind. The Buckeyes welcomed Porter for an official visit this past weekend.

Here’s what Holland had to say about Porter.

“I’ve talked a ton about how much I love Quincy as a prospect,” Holland said. “I have him graded as a five-star, and he would fill such a massive need for Michigan as a bigger-bodied outside receiver…He could be an immediate difference maker at a place like Michigan. He could come in and potentially start as a true freshman.”

Holland also went in-depth on where Michigan stands for Porter.

“I think he’s the biggest target left on the offensive side of the ball, and that’s why he’s the most important visitor coming in this weekend,” Holland said. “On top of that, Michigan is battling rival Ohio State, so you don’t want another big-time receiver going over to Columbus. Now, I think that Ohio State did a really nice job over the weekend. If I had to pick a leader for Porter right now, it would probably be Ohio State. I think they did build some momentum there…(But) the need for Porter, the opportunity and pathway for playing time, I think, is greater at Michigan. That’s certainly going to be a big pitch to him throughout the weekend.”

Along with Michigan, Porter has an official visit scheduled to Oklahoma on June 21-23. He’s also coming off an official visit to Penn State the weekend of May 31-June 2. Other notable offers include Alabama, Notre Dame, MSU, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Miami, Ole Miss, and Kentucky.

At 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, Porter is listed as the No. 31 overall prospect and the No. 5 wide receiver in the country, according to On3. He’s also the No. 1 player in New Jersey.

The six commits in Michigan’s 2025 recruiting class are Williams, Top 100 Oak Park (Ill.) Fenwick EDGE Nate Marshall, On300 Ft. Myers (Fla.) Bishop Verot quarterback Carter Smith, four-star Birmingham (Mich.) Groves offensive lineman Avery Gach, four-star Howell (Mich.) High defensive lineman Bobby Kanka, and three-star Alcoa (Tenn.) High tight end Eli Owens.
