Michigan notched a commitment from four-star New Orleans (La.) Archbishop Shaw wide receiver <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jacob-washington-236880/">Jacob Washington </a>on Monday afternoon.



Washington picked U-M over finalists Georgia Tech and Missouri.

Michigan desperately needed a big-bodied wide receiver this cycle and pushed hard for Washington on his official visit over the weekend.



U-M wide receivers coach Ron Bellamy, a fellow Louisiana native, led the way in this recruitment and built a special connection with Washington.



Bellamy sealed the deal during Washington’s time in Ann Arbor. Now, Washington is ready to be a playmaker in the Maize and Blue.



“The offense is definitely a powerhouse,” Washington said. “Everything the team does from the wide receivers to the running backs to the tight ends to the quarterbacks to the offensive line moves in one smooth wheel. It was great to see every aspect of practice (in the spring). It was super competitive. The energy surrounding practice was second to none. They practiced with a purpose. It was fun to watch.



“I can definitely see myself fitting into Michigan’s offense. They put up huge points every week. A lot of the routes and the concepts are downfield. I like to consider myself a deep threat that can take the top off a defense. I can see myself catching touchdowns week-by-week in The Big House.”



Washington is a high school teammate of three-star Michigan running back commit Jasper Parker.



At 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, Washington is ranked as the No. 50 wide receiver and No. 329 overall prospect nationally, per the On3 Industry Ranking. He is also ranked as the No. 9 overall recruit in the state of Louisiana this cycle



Michigan now has 11 commits in its 2025 recruiting class — Top 100 Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga defensive back Kainoa Winston, Top 100 Oak Park (Ill.) Fenwick defensive lineman Nate Marshall, On300 Fort Myers (Fla.) Bishop Verot quarterback Carter Smith, On300 Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy running back Donovan Johnson, four-star New Orleans (La.) Archbishop Shaw wide receiver Jacob Washington, four-star Palatine (Ill.) High EDGE Jaylen Williams, four-star Birmingham (Mich.) Groves offensive lineman Avery Gach, four-star Howell (Mich.) High defensive lineman Bobby Kanka, three-star New Orleans (La.) Archbishop Shaw running back Jasper Parker, three-star Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy offensive lineman Kaden Strayhorn and three-star Alcoa (Tenn.) High tight end Eli Owens.



The class entered the day ranked No. 13 nationally and No. 4 in the Big Ten, per the On3 Industry national team recruiting rankings. The Wolverines currently sit behind Ohio State, Oregon and USC.
