Four-star linebacker Jay Schell visits Michigan during season opener

Four-star linebacker Jay Schell attended Michigan’s season opener at The Big House as a recruit for the 2028 class. Despite previously narrowing his recruitment to a top-two list featuring Oklahoma and Clemson, the Georgia native visited Ann Arbor at the request of linebackers coach Alex Whittingham. Schell, who is currently ranked among the top national linebacker prospects for the 2028 cycle, met with staff members including Kyle Whittingham and Jay Hill during the trip. He plans to visit Clemson this coming weekend and Oklahoma for the September 19 game against New Mexico. The recruit intends to make a formal commitment decision following his visit to Norman. This recruitment process follows interest from several major programs, with Rivals listing him as a top-200 player and ESPN identifying him as a top national linebacker prospect.
