Former Michigan linebacker Obi Ezeh has passed away at the age of 36, as confirmed by both Ezeh’s mother and the University of Michigan. The sad news was shared on social media platforms, with Michigan football expressing condolences to his family, friends, and former teammates. Ezeh’s mother also shared a heartfelt message on Facebook, bidding farewell to her beloved son. During his five seasons with the Wolverines, Ezeh made significant contributions, amassing 293 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, and two interceptions in 49 games. Despite going undrafted, he briefly signed with the Washington Redskins before being waived shortly afterward.

Michigan football showing strong interest in top-tier safety prospect for 2025

Michigan football recruiting has experienced a slowdown, especially compared to previous years, although it’s now showing signs of improvement. Historically, the Wolverines gain momentum in May and June, which aligns with the timing of offseason changes, particularly Sherrone Moore taking over in late January. It’s logical that Moore would prioritize strengthening the current team before focusing on future recruiting efforts.

Recently, attention has turned to 2025 four-star safety Jordan Young from Monroe, North Carolina. Young received an offer from Michigan on March 20 and visited Ann Arbor on April 15. He included Michigan in his top eight schools and seems to be impressed by the program.

According to insights from On3’s Chad Simmons, Michigan football is actively pursuing Young, who is ranked as the No. 2 safety prospect in the nation. While Clemson and Florida State are currently leading the race, Michigan’s late offer and Young’s positive visit to Ann Arbor have elevated the Wolverines’ position. Official visits will play a significant role in Young’s decision, expected in the fall.

Despite Clemson being perceived as the frontrunner, Michigan’s recent efforts and quick inclusion in Young’s top schools indicate that they have a chance to emerge victorious in recruiting him.
