Overview
- Blake Jenkins announced his commitment to Michigan on Thursday, June 4, selecting the Wolverines over Alabama, Texas, Vanderbilt and SMU.
- Jenkins is listed around 6-1½ and 185 pounds, has a reported 4.48 40-yard dash, posted 26 tackles and two interceptions as a junior, and is ranked among the top corners in national recruiting lists.
- His pledge makes Jenkins the third cornerback and the 16th overall commit in Michigan’s 2027 class, joining Darius Johnson, Tavares Harrington and safety Charles Woodson Jr.
- Michigan cornerbacks coach Jernaro Gilford led the late push that included an unofficial April visit, reflecting the new staff’s emphasis on in-person recruiting to close targets.
- The commitment extends Michigan’s recent surge in the 2027 cycle and could further lift the class nationally while deepening the Wolverines’ defensive backfield as officials and weekend visits continue.
