Where Michigan stands in On3 Consensus national team recruiting rankings
Michigan has jumped to No. 23 in the 2023 On3 Consensus National Team Recruiting Rankings board following the verbal commitment of On300 Cumming (Ga.) South Forsyth offensive lineman Nathan Efobi.
Efobi becomes the third senior offensive lineman to join the Wolverines this cycle. The four-star, ranked in the top 10 among all interior blockers, per the On3 Consensus, chose Michigan over offers from Georgia, Miami, Penn State, Georgia Tech, NC State, and Duke. Efobi is projected to play either guard or center at the next level.
“Michigan is at the top,” Efobi said back in September when he last visited campus. “It might be recency bias, but I loved the people and the fanbase. It was an incredible experience.”
