The Michigan Wolverines have witnessed a significant shift in their recruitment following the departure of head coach Sherrone Moore. Four-star tight end Matt Ludwig has opted to seek opportunities elsewhere, marking a critical moment for the team.
Matt Ludwig’s Decision to Leave Michigan
Matt Ludwig, a highly regarded tight end from Billings, Montana, has officially requested his release from Michigan. This request was promptly approved by the university. Ludwig, who stands at 6-foot-5, is recognized as the No. 12 tight end in the 2026 recruiting class and ranks No. 242 overall among players in that year.
Ludwig expressed his intentions in a statement. “I requested my release from Michigan and I’m opening up my recruitment,” he stated, as reported by Rivals.
Current State of Michigan Tight Ends
With Ludwig’s departure, Michigan’s tight end roster features three-star recruit Mason Bonner. Bonner, standing at 6-foot-7, remains a promising option for the Wolverines as they look to fill the void left by Ludwig.
