Big News For The Michigan Team As Top 2024 WR Target Decommits From Former Team To Focus On His Michigan Move

Gatlin Bair, a four-star wide receiver for 2024, formally announced his decision to decommit from Boise State on Friday night. He will now concentrate his recruiting efforts on Michigan and Oregon.

In August, the 6-foot-2, 195-pound native of Idaho made a commitment to Boise State. But now that head coach Andy Avalos has been fired by the Broncos, Bair is more flexible with his hiring. After traveling to Oregon in November, he went to Ann Arbor to watch the Wolverines play Ohio State, and the experience left him speechless.

Bair said to 247Sports’ Steve Wiltfong ($) that “it was crazy, so many people and so much talent on the field, how well they develop players is crazy.” “They simply outweigh every other team I’ve seen in size and physicality.

The degree to which they grow, irrespective of status. Once they touch that program, every guy on the team looks like a completely new person. With coach Harbaugh (suspended), they haven’t thrown the ball much, but I think I could give their offense a completely new dimension and allow them to run some incredibly long plays.

With a 10.15 100-meter sprint performance from the spring, Bair is among the fastest players in his recruiting cycle. As a junior in 2022, he caught 73 receptions for 1,073 yards and 18 touchdowns, demonstrating his ability to receive the ball as well.

The only drawback is that Bair won’t be on the campus of his intended college until 2026 because he is going on a two-year mission trip. It’s still well worth the wait, especially for a talent of his magnitude.

Now, we’ll have to wait and see if Bair decides during the early signing window, which opens on December 20. Time is of the essence, so pay attention.

According to 247Sports’ aggregate rankings, Bair is the top player in the state of Idaho, the tenth-ranked wide receiver, and the 37th-ranked player overall.
