It's fair to how how Michigan football will fare when it comes to in-state recruiting under new head coach Kyle Whittingham.
Whittiingham is a West Coast guy. He has recruited heavily out of Utah and California over the years. He's gone beyond those places plenty of times, but in-state recruiting is vital for the Wolverines, as it is with most programs.
The Detroit area always produces NFL talent. Bryce Underwood was the No. 1 overall recruit in the 2025 class, and is still on track to be a first-round draft pick after an up-and-down freshman season.
