ABC News: Michigan Football Secures Official Visit from Four-Star 2026 QB
March 4, 2025 – The University of Michigan football program has made a significant move in its recruitment efforts, securing an official visit from four-star 2026 quarterback prospect, Caleb Matthews. The young star, who has been making waves at the high school level, will be visiting Ann Arbor for the first time this coming weekend.
Matthews, a highly regarded dual-threat quarterback out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, has already been garnering attention from top-tier college programs across the country. His impressive combination of arm strength, mobility, and football IQ has placed him firmly on the radar of several prestigious programs, including Michigan’s archrival Ohio State.
The Wolverines’ coaching staff has shown strong interest in Matthews, with head coach Jim Harbaugh personally reaching out to the talented prospect. Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore have emphasized the program’s commitment to developing quarterbacks and offering a winning atmosphere for the future.
“We’re excited to host Caleb on his official visit,” Harbaugh said. “He’s a dynamic player with a great future ahead of him. Michigan is a place where top talent can grow, and we believe we can help him reach his full potential.”
Matthews, who is entering his junior year of high school, has already amassed a strong list of accomplishments. He led his high school team to a state championship last season, passing for over 3,000 yards and 35 touchdowns while also rushing for 700 yards and 10 touchdowns. His ability to make plays both in the air and on the ground has made him a unique and highly coveted prospect.
The timing of his visit to Michigan is crucial, as the Wolverines are looking to solidify their quarterback depth for the future. With 2025 and 2026 recruiting cycles in full swing, securing a commitment from a highly rated quarterback like Matthews would further bolster Michigan’s recruiting efforts and potentially solidify the program’s position as a national powerhouse for years to come.
Matthews is expected to meet with current Michigan players, tour the campus, and engage with the coaching staff during his official visit. Following the visit, many are speculating that he could soon be ready to make a commitment, although he is also expected to visit other major programs before making his final decision.
With Michigan’s football program continuing to build momentum, fans are eagerly watching to see if the Wolverines can land another top-tier quarterback to lead their offense into the future.
