This weekend, the Michigan Wolverines are eagerly preparing to welcome one of their standout recruits for the 2025 class to Ann Arbor. Four-star tight end Andrew Olesh, a highly sought-after talent, is expected to attend the Wolverines’ game against Northwestern this Saturday. As reported by 247 Sports, Olesh currently ranks as the No. 3 tight end nationwide and holds the impressive position of the No. 47 prospect overall in the country.
Though Olesh pledged his commitment to the Wolverines during the summer months, he has continued to explore options by visiting several elite programs across the nation, including Alabama, Penn State, and Oregon in recent weeks. Notably, he has recently reaffirmed his commitment to Michigan, a clear indication of his intent to stay with the team.
“Just to clear things up, I’m still locked in with Michigan,” Olesh made clear during an interview with On3, recent statements reflecting his dedication despite the allure of rival programs.
While Olesh remains committed to the Wolverines, there is no doubt that other prestigious universities will intensify their efforts to recruit him as signing day approaches. With projected future first-round draft pick Colston Loveland entering his final season at Michigan, maintaining a commitment from Olesh is crucial for offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore and the coaching staff.
