McKenney, No. 16 recruit in '25, picks Michigan

Five-star TE commits to Wolverines

McKenney is the highest-rated TE recruit since Jake Butt in 2013

Five-star tight end Andrew McKenney has committed to Michigan, he announced on Sunday. McKenney is the No. 16 overall recruit in the 2025 class and the No. 1 tight end, according to the 247Sports Composite.

He chose the Wolverines over offers from Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, and Penn State.

McKenney is a 6-foot-5, 225-pound tight end from Bellflower, California. He is a consensus five-star recruit and is considered one of the best tight ends in the country.

He is a physical blocker and a good receiver. He has good hands and is a threat to score every time he touches the ball.

McKenney is the highest-rated tight end recruit to commit to Michigan since Jake Butt in 2013. Butt was a four-year starter for the Wolverines and was a Mackey Award finalist in 2016.

McKenney's commitment is a big win for Michigan. He is a talented player who could have a major impact on the Wolverines' offense in the future.

McKenney's commitment gives Michigan a top-10 recruiting class

With McKenney's commitment, Michigan now has a top-10 recruiting class for 2025. The Wolverines have 10 commitments, including six four-star recruits.

McKenney is the highest-rated recruit in Michigan's class, but he is not the only highly-touted player.

The Wolverines also have commitments from four-star quarterback Dante Moore, four-star running back Cole Cabana, four-star wide receiver Jeremiah Alexander, four-star offensive tackle Evan Hull, and four-star cornerback JQ Hardaway.

Michigan's recruiting class is ranked No. 9 in the country by 247Sports. The Wolverines are looking to finish with a top-five recruiting class for the second consecutive year.

McKenney's commitment is a sign of Michigan's resurgence

McKenney's commitment is a sign of Michigan's resurgence under head coach Jim Harbaugh.

Harbaugh has led the Wolverines to a 56-22 record in seven seasons. He has also led Michigan to two Big Ten championships and a College Football Playoff appearance.

McKenney's commitment shows that Harbaugh is still able to attract top recruits to Michigan. It also shows that the Wolverines are on the rise.

Michigan is looking to compete for a national championship in the next few years. McKenney's commitment is a step in the right direction.
