With success on the field comes success off the field. Michigan added its fourth commitment of the 2025 class with a pledge from Alcoa, TN tight end Eli Owens. Owens was originally predicted to the Wolverines in late November after attending Michigan’s victory over Ohio State on an unofficial visit. Now, he has given a pledge to the Wolverines.
According to 247Sports, Owens is little under 6-foot-2 and weighs 243 pounds. With a combined score of.8919, he is ranked 355th in the nation among players.Ohio State, Tennessee, Alabama, and several more universities have extended offers to Owens.
Despite being the 2025 class’s lowest-rated commit, Michigan’s tight-end rankings are generally spot on. particularly those that they assess and accept quickly. Colston Loveland (302nd nationally) and Eric All (333rd nationally) are two recent examples of this. Even though Owen plays a significantly different role than All and Loveland, who both excelled at Michigan and appear to be potential NFL draft picks, there’s no reason why Owen can’t follow in their footsteps.
As of right now, Owens’ build is comparable to that of 6-foot-2, 240-pound Michigan tight end/fullback Max Bredeson. Bredeson has shown his physicality several times against Alabama and has been a very good run blocker for Michigan. It’s probable that Owens committed after Michigan offered him the role after the team’s bowl victory. Of course, Owens has lots of time to develop into a more conventional tight-end frame as he is still only a junior in high school.
With a national title win, Michigan’s 2025 class, which is now rated 12th in the nation, may receive a lot of fresh pledges in the upcoming weeks. Keep an eye on Ethan Utley, a player who is also from Tennessee.As of right now, Owens’ build is comparable to that of 6-foot-2, 240-pound Michigan tight end/fullback Max Bredeson.
