Guerrant Recruitment

Michigan extended an offer to Guerrant back in May of 2023. U-M was the first program to put a scholarship on the table.

Since then, Guerrant has made several visits to Michigan and was back on campus over the weekend.

Here is what Holland had to say about this recruitment.

“I put in a really early On3 Prediction in favor of Michigan for Guerrant,” Holland said. “He has a couple of ties to the program. His cousin is defensive back Jacob Oden, he plays for former Wolverine Rod Oden at Harper Woods and he’s part of the Sound Mind Sound Body program, where he played 7v7 alongside U-M quarterback Bryce Underwood. Michigan invested a lot in Underwood last cycle and needs to surround him with elite weapons like Guerrant moving forward.”

Along with Michigan, Guerrant holds offers from Alabama, Miami, Ohio State, Oregon, USC and others.

At 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, Guerrant is ranked as the No. 6 wide receiver and No. 38 overall prospect nationally, per the Rivals Industry Ranking. He is also ranked as the No. 1 overall recruit in the state of Michigan for next cycle.
