Michigan hosted a handful of key 2025 recruiting targets for its final two home games in September — the Wolverines self-imposed a two-game visit ban to kick off the season.

The Wolverine’s EJ Holland breaks down the five most notable prospects (in the video above above) that made their way to Ann Arbor, including On300 Milton (Ga.) High wide receiver CJ Wiley.

Wiley Recruitment

Michigan extended an offer to Wiley in early June after he made his way to campus for his first-ever unofficial visit.

Wiley returned for another unofficial visit in July for the BBQ at The Big House. His trip this month for the game against Bowling Green marked his third visit.

“It was actually pretty exciting,” Wiley told The Wolverine. “They installed some new lights in the stadium. When they cut off the (LED) lights, they had some maize and blue lights that turned on and off at the top. That was pretty wild.

“I talked to (Ron Bellamy) after the game. He said to keep up my game this season, hopes that I come down for another game and that I keep in touch.”

Along with Michigan, Wiley has offers in hand from Arizona State, Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Michigan State, NC State, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Texas A&M and others.

At 6-foot-4, 188 pounds, Wiley is ranked as the No. 27 wide receiver and No. 191 overall prospect nationally, per On3. He is also ranked as the No. 21 overall recruit in the state of Georgia for next cycle.

Michigan has two verbal commitments in its 2025 recruiting class in Top 100 Miami (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna defensive back Chris Ewald and four-star Howell (Mich.) High defensive lineman Bobby Kanka. The class is ranked No. 17 nationally, per the On3 Industry team recruiting rankings.
