Blair Recruitment
Blair notched an offer from Michigan in December and has quickly become one of the most important overall targets for the Wolverines this cycle.
Michigan hosted him for a spring unofficial visit and made a huge impression on him.
“The Michigan visit was great overall,” Blair said. “They gave me a rundown of how they do things around there. Everything went extremely well. I talked to the weight room coach, and he told me why their athletes are superior to others. I also talked to the nutritionist about how they test for things. My parents and I loved all of that. From a football aspect, they are going to get it done. It’s Michigan. We talked to the coaches, and everything felt right. Also, the education is great. It’s great all around at Michigan.”
Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore is personally involved in Blair’s recruitment and made a big push during their 1-on-1 meeting on the visit.
“He was very welcoming,” Blair said. “When I first came in, he was like ‘wow’ because a lot of people don’t think I’m 6-foot-4. But meeting with him was great. We had a great conversation about how he sees me becoming a Michigan Man and making plays on the field. He made it known how much he personally wants me in their program. I thought that was big.”
Michigan is set to host him again for an official visit on June 14.
Along with Michigan, Blair is set to make official visits to Florida State, Notre Dame, Penn State and South Carolina. Blair will make his decision on July 5.
At 6-foot-4, 180 pounds, Blair is ranked as the No. 8 safety and No. 85 overall prospect nationally, per On3. He is also ranked as the No. 4 overall recruit in the state of North Carolina this cycle.
Michigan has five commits in its 2025 recruiting class — Top 100 Oak Park (Ill.) Fenwick defensive lineman Nate Marshall, On300 Fort Myers (Fla.) Bishop Verot quarterback Carter Smith, four-star Birmingham (Mich.) Groves offensive lineman Avery Gach, four-star Howell (Mich.) High defensive lineman Bobby Kanka and three-star Alcoa (Tenn.) High tight end Eli Owens.
The class is ranked No. 15 nationally, per the On3 Industry national team recruiting rankings, and No. 4 in the Big Ten behind Ohio State, USC and Oregon. Michigan is tied for the fewest number of commits in the conference. The Wolverines have an average recruit rating of 90.75.
