Once again, Michigan football has dipped its toes into the Ohio talent pool to land a commit.
On Wednesday morning, Jim Harbaugh's program landed a commitment from Ben Roebuck, a three-star offensive lineman from Lakewood St. Edward. This comes one day after the Wolverines got a commitment from Jordan Marshall, a four-star running back from Cincinnati Moeller who was named Ohio Gatorade Player of the Year.

Roebuck is the No. 455 overall player in the class of 2024, No. 31 offensive tackle and No. 15 player in Ohio per the 247sports Composite rankings. He had offers from Penn State, Tennessee and Wisconsin among others.
Going to the Buckeye State has been a growing trend for U-M, and it was OL position coach (Sherrone Moore) and the man with the Ohio ties (Steve Clinkscale) who teamed up primarily on the recruitment of the 6-foot-7, 320-pound lineman.

U-M's class of 2024 is now rated No. 5 in the nation according to 247sports.
