Rivals RPM: Michigan leads with these five recruits after weekend visits...

Michigan hosted a talented group of visitors for its win over Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon.

The Wolverines impressed a number of targets and now have the lead for these five recruits, per the Rivals Recruiting Prediction Machine.

WR Dakota Guerrant, Harper Woods (Mich.) High (2027)

Ranked as the No. 24 overall recruit nationally, Guerrant is a top overall priority for Michigan in the 2027 class. It’s no secret the Wolverines need more help in the wide receiver room, and Guerrant can certainly provide that. This trip marked Guerrant’s 15th reported visit to Michigan. The Wolverines hold the commanding lead on the Rivals Recruiting Prediction Machine with a 76.0 percent chance of landing him. While Michigan is in a very strong sport early on, the Wolverines will need to fight off others like Miami, Ohio State and Oregon.

WR Deandre Bidden, Harper Woods (Mich.) High (2028)

Ranked as the No. 4 wide receiver and No. 11 overall prospect nationally for the 2028 class, Bidden is an elite talent right in Michigan’s own backyard. Bidden will be a huge target for Michigan down the line, and keeping him home is imperative. Michigan has the lead on the Rivals Recruiting Prediction Machine with a 55.7 percent chance of landing him. Others like Alabama, Ohio State, Oregon and USC are also involved. However, U-M is off to a fast start and has already hosted him for two visits this fall.

TE Anthony Cartwright, Detroit (Mich.) Country Day (2027)

Michigan is doing everything it can to make sure Cartwright stays home next cycle. The Wolverines are making him feel like a priority on the tight end board and have hosted him for more visits than any other schools. Michigan has the commanding lead on the Rivals Recruiting Prediction Machine with an 81.7 percent chance of landing him. Cartwright, the No. 12 tight end and No. 191 overall recruit nationally, is considering other programs like Miami, Ohio State and Penn State. However, Michigan appears to have the inside track for the talented in-state prospect.

EDGE Recarder Kitchen, Muskegon (Mich.) High (2027)

Yet another talented in-state prospect, Kitchen is ranked as the No. 13 EDGE and No. 105 overall recruit nationally. Kitchen keeps his recruitment very, very private. However, he has visited Michigan more than any other school, and it’s clear the Wolverines are a frontrunner early on. In fact, Michigan has the lead on the Rivals Recruiting Prediction Machine with a 97.7 percent chance of landing him after multiple predictions came in over the weekend. Big Ten bunkmates Michigan State and Penn State are pushing hard, but this appears to be U-M’s recruitment to lose.

DB Charles Woodson Jr., Orlando (Fla.) Lake Nona (2027)

A four-star prospect, Woodson is the son of Michigan legend Charles Woodson. The Wolverines are making the legacy recruit a top priority and hosted him for his first visit as an actual recruit over the weekend. It would be shocking if Charles Jr. ended up anywhere other than U-M. The Wolverines have the lead on the Rivals Recruiting Prediction Machine with a 99.8 percent chance of landing him. That basically means he’s a lock to join U-M’s 2027 class.
