As unofficial and official visits begin to heat up across the country, Michigan and Jim Harbaugh have emerged as one of the top contenders for a five-star quarterback in 2024 who may not have been connected to the Wolverines in recent months. Charlotte (NC) Providence Day School Jadyn Davis recently visited Ann Arbor unofficially and came away more than impressed with what the program has to offer.

“They’re in the mix for a lot of great players; one of them is the five-star quarterback Jadyn Daviswho was on campus on Sunday,” Wiltfong said of Michigan.”Jim Harbaugh and this Michigan program made a big impression on Jadyn and her family. I had a chance to talk to his dad on Tuesday – it was their first time in the Big House, first time up there – Coach Harbaugh, his experience, his track record with quarterbacks, Andrew Luckhis father raised Andrew Luck, what he did at Stanford, what he did in the pros, what he did as a player, 14-year-old NFL quarterback, NFL MVP runner-up. All these things excite Jadyn Davis and his father – on the Michigan program, Michigan scholars. What his dad has said over and over is that Michigan has everything every other program has.”

The Michigan quarterback’s recruiting didn’t necessarily go as originally planned for the 2023 cycle. The Wolverines have deep ties to five-star Dante Moore (2023) and CJ Carr (2024) and all two were initially considered future Wolverines by many experts. Now entering the second week of June, the Wolverines take on Texas A&M, Oregon, Miami and Notre Dame for Moore and Carr committed to the Fighting Irish last week. Davis emerging as a legitimate candidate for the Michigan staff in the 2024 cycle could go a long way to allay any concerns about the job for the foreseeable future.

On the court, Davis continues to excel in off-season practices and was among the top overall prospects in an absolutely packed Overtime7 7v7 event in Las Vegas. According to 247Sports national analyst Greg Biggins:

Davis also made his debut on Friday and came out tearing it up in his opener. He threw a perfect deep ball on his first pitch of the game and we love his tendency. He’s grown at least an inch and added about 10 pounds of muscle to his frame and looks great. He’s a very special talent who will be in the running for the best quarterback and player in the Class of ’24.

The five-star is set to return to Ann Arbor in July for the program’s annual barbecue at the Big House. If that return visit materializes there, Michigan can be considered the team to beat. Davis is currently ranked ninth overall in the 2024 cycle according to 247Sports. There are no 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions in.

247 Sports scouting report (Ivins): Already growing 6 feet. Likely to continue to grow. Slender construction with room for possible filling. A college-level multi-game starter as a rookie. The quick and compact release allows him to spray it around the field. Ball placement has been a strength early in his career as he is accurate more often than not. Uses trajectory to your advantage. Clean footwork. Likes to establish a secure base. Solid pocket presence for his age, but athletic and creative enough to keep the games alive. Can move the chains with his legs. Does not put himself in many risky situations. His peers consider him a caucus leader. Will need to develop some arm strength over the next few years, but already capable of high level throws. Considered by trusted quarterback coaches a kid way ahead of the curve. Should become one of the best passers of the 2024 cycle with the right coaching and the right mindset.
