<p>Michigan picked up a commitment from 2027 Rivals300 Muskegon (Mich.) High EDGE <strong><a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/recarder-kitchen-240147/">Recarder Kitchen</a></strong> on Sunday afternoon.</p>



<p><em>The Wolverine’s </em><strong>EJ Holland </strong>shares his thoughts on the recruiting win in the video above. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-kitchen-recruitment">Kitchen Recruitment</h2>



<p>Michigan offered Kitchen early in the process and immediately made him a top priority. The Wolverines began to trend on the Rivals Recruiting Prediction Machine late last year.</p>



<p>U-M built even more momentum earlier this fall when it got him on campus for a game day visit. Kitchen returned to Ann Arbor this weekend for The Game, and the Wolverines were able to win him over on the spot. </p>



<p>Here is what Holland had to say about Kitchen. </p>



<p>“I really like the Kitchen land,” Holland said. “At one point, he was a Top 10 recruit in the country. He’s dropped a bit since then but is still a Top 150 recruit. That’s where I like him. He can bulk up and play with his hand in the dirt, but I really like him as a bigger EDGE in the same mold as a Mike Morris or even Julian Walker from this cycle. He’s a really nice early win for the Wolverines.” </p>



<p>At 6-foot-5, 240 pounds, Kitchen is ranked as the No. 19 EDGE and No. 126 overall recruit nationally, per the Rivals Industry Ranking. He is also ranked as the No. 2 overall prospect in the state of Michigan for next cycle. </p>



<p>Michigan has three commits in its 2027 recruiting class — Top 100 Marion (Mass.) Tabor Academy quarterback Peter Bourque, three-star Southlake (Texas) Carroll offensive lineman Tristan Dare and three-star Saline (Mich.) High offensive lineman Louis Esposito.</p>



<p>Michigan has 27 commits in its 2026 recruiting class — five-star Mineral (Va.) Louisa County running back Savion Hiter, five-star Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga EDGE Carter Meadows, Top 100 Honolulu (Hawaii) Kamehameha offensive tackle Malakai Lee, Top 100 Irmo (S.C.) Dutch Fork EDGE Julian Walker, Rivals300 St. Louis (Mo.) DeSmet defensive lineman Titan Davis, Rivals300 Billings (Mont.) West tight end Matt Ludwig, Rivals300 Needham (Mass.) St. Sebastian’s offensive lineman Marky Walbridge, Rivals300 Chesapeake (Va.) Oscar Smith wide receiver Travis Johnson, Rivals300 Waco (Texas) Connally cornerback Jamarion Vincent, Rivals300 Liberty Hill (Texas) High defensive lineman Alister Vallejo, four-star Chicago (Ill.) Simeon EDGE McHale Blade, four-star Richmond (Va.) Hermitage defensive back Andre Clarke, four-star Mansfield (Texas) High wide receiver Zion Robinson, three-star Cartersville (Ga.) Cass offensive lineman Bear McWhorter, three-star Washington (D.C.) St. John’s EDGE Tariq Boney, three-star Denver (Colo.) Mullen tight end Mason Bonner, three-star Dallas (Texas) Parish Episcopal wide receiver Jaylen Pile, three-star Richmond (Va.) Huguenot linebacker Markel Dabney, three-star Hinsdale (Ill.) Central kicker Micah Drescher, three-star Columbus (Ohio) St. Francis DeSales running back Jonathan Brown, three-star Wilmette (Ill.) Loyola Academy offensive lineman Tommy Fraumann, three-star Cincinnati (Ohio) St. Xavier linebacker Aden Reeder, three-star Jackson (Miss.) Hartfield Academy linebacker Kaden Catchings, three-star Saline (Mich.) High quarterback Tommy Carr, three-star Newberry Park (Calif.) High quarterback Brady Smigiel and three-star Phoenix (Ariz.) O’Connor long snapper Colton Dermer.<br></p>
