TMI has the latest on one of the Wolverines’ targets

On Monday, Michigan entered the mix for an emerging prospect in Mount Olive (NC) North Duplin 2026 defensive lineman Trashawn Ruffin.

Defensive line coach Lou Esposito extended the offer.

“Coach Espo had texted me out of the blue and asked me am I free for a call, so I jumped on it quick and he called me and was asking me some questions about my life and my family,” Ruffin told The Michigan Insider. “He then asked me if I would ever be interested in playing at the University Of Michigan and of course I said yes and after that he offered me. I was VERY amazed by that offer. I mean it’s a team that literally won the national championship last year. How could you not be amazed by an offer from Michigan? I’m truly blessed and humbled about it!
