Best player? Most valuable? Assigning 2024 Michigan football class superlatives

National signing day has come and passed without any major surprises. Of course, Michigan landed a commitment from four-star pass rusher Lugard Edokpayi to juice up the class, but that came as no shock with crystal balls trickling in over the past two weeks.

Michigan signed 27 recruits for a 247Sports Composite total class score of 261.14 making them the 15th highest-rated class in the country and fourth in the new look Big Ten. The Wolverines inked zero five-stars, 18 four-stars and nine three-stars in total. Michigan signed 12 offensive players and 15 defensive players.

Marshall is the sixth-rated back nationally and the 83rd player overall but has a strong case to be bumped inside the top 50. He can do it all and has a legitimate chance to go down as one of the best running backs in Michigan history. The Wolverines need to replace Blake Corum and Marshall is the perfect candidate to do so… even if their styles are slightly different.

Davis is the perfect guy to control Michigan’s offense with his accuracy, poise, and ability to work the ball in the short and intermediate areas of the field. If Davis can take the next step and add some touch and power to his deep ball, Michigan might have another…
