Wolverine TV: Michigan kicker signee Adam Samaha buries 60-yard field goal
Michigan kicker signee Adam Samaha, who became the first verbal commit of the 2023 class, was out in Fresno, California, last month for the holidays, where he furthered development this offseason in lead up to his enrollment in June. Samaha, out of Ann Arbor (Mich.) Huron, would submit his National Letter of Intent to the Wolverines during the early signing period.
The videos were courtesy of Samaha and his family as the in-stater is shown converting five field goal attempts from over 50 yards out, including a 60-yarder at the center of the Fresno State Bulldogs logo within Jim Sweeney Field.
The session was held after Samaha took part in the 2022 U.S. Army All-American Bowl in Frisco, Texas, on December 17th where he participated alongside two other 2023 Michigan signees in West Bloomfield (Mich.) High wideout Semaj Morgan and Kankakee (Ill.) High cornerback Jyaire Hill.
At 6-foot, 170 pounds, Samaha is ranked as the No. 8 kicker and No. 2,110 overall prospect nationally, according to the On3 Consensus. He is also ranked as the No. 34 overall prospect in the state of Michigan.
“Just the atmosphere (at Michigan) and getting to know both the players and coaches throughout (my visits) there and the time in which they were recruiting me,” Samaha told The Wolverine. “It felt like a family ever since I first got recruited and now we’re officially going to be a family. I can’t wait.”

Samaha has an On3 NIL Valuation of $10K with 4,700 combined followers on Instagram and Twitter. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
Michigan signed 22 other verbal commits to its 2023 recruiting class back in December — On300 wide receiver Karmello English, On300 cornerback Jyaire Hill, On300 offensive lineman Nathan Efobi, On300 offensive tackle Evan Link, On300 EDGE Enow Etta, consensus four-star offensive lineman Amir Herring, four-star running back Cole Cabana, four-star linebacker Semaj Bridgeman, four-star tight end Deakon Tonielli, three-star wide receivers Semaj Morgan and Fredrick Moore, three-star defensive linemen Brooks Bahr and Roderick Pierce, three-star running back Benjamin Hall, three-star EDGE Aymeric Koumba, three-star tight end Zack Marshall, three-star athletes Kendrick Bell, Breeon Ishmail and Jason Hewlett, three-star defensive backs Cameron Calhoun and D’Juan Waller, and three-star linebacker Hayden Moore.
