Brian Jean-Mary secured his first commitment in his return as Michigan Wolverines’ linebackers coach, with three-star linebacker Chase Taylor announcing his decision on Monday. Originally offered under Michigan’s previous coaching staff, Taylor, hailing from Stockbridge, Georgia, stands at a solid 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds. He chose Michigan after a recent visit and is expected to bolster the team’s linebacker depth, which has been thinned by departures.
While not among the top-rated prospects, Taylor was heavily pursued by Jean-Mary and the new defensive coaching setup. His commitment adds to a defensive recruiting class that already includes notable names like four-star defensive back Kainoa Winston and a trio of four-star defensive linemen.
