While on its first bye week of the 2024 season, Michigan football has hit the road recruiting prospects to add to its class. But the Wolverines are also trying to keep what they currently have in the 2025 cycle. There have been several Michigan commits taking a look at other programs.

2025 Michigan Edge commit, Julius Holly, is currently in Alabama for a visit to watch the Crimson Tide play against South Carolina. Holly, an Alpharetta (GA) recruit, is a four-star Edge defender. According to 247Sports’ Composite, Holly is the 317th-ranked recruit in the cycle.

Holly is now the third Michigan commit who has taken a look at Alabama. Both safety Ivan Taylor and tight end Andrew Olesh have visited Tuscaloosa since committing to the maize and blue.

Michigan currently has the 15th-ranked class by the 247Sports’ Composite with 16 commitments. The Wolverines have already lost a couple of players who switched their commitment. Three-star wide receiver Phillip Wright left for LSU and four-star defensive lineman Nathaniel Marshall went to Auburn.

Holly is the only Edge recruit committed to the Wolverines in the 2025 cycle.

LANSING, Mich. (WILX) -A local nonprofit dedicated to helping female entrepreneurs thrive celebrated its five-year anniversary in Jackson. To mark the milestone, the nonprofit awarded thousands of dollars in funding.

Women helping other women, that’s the goal of Michigan Tribe, a nonprofit led by two sisters, Alex Masten and Amanda Loveland.

“Michigan Tribe is a nonprofit organization that creates grants and events for female entrepreneurs,” said Loveland.

The nonprofit celebrated five years of giving back by giving even more, handing out $34,000 of grant funding to local women-owned businesses.

“We have, over the five years we’ve been in existence, given over more than $100,000 as of tonight,” said Loveland.

Tonja Worthey, owner of event planning business Worthey Occasions, was one of the grant recipients and says the money couldn’t have come at a better time. Tonja

“We just opened up here downtown in Jackson, and so being able to get the showroom up and going, every bit counts, so we’re blessed to have received that.”

But money isn’t the only benefit of working with Michigan Tribe.

“The women in this community have become our friends. It’s a community, it’s a network now, and we can all help each other,” said Masten.

“I was a female entrepreneur that kind of felt isolated for a lot of the 18 years… meeting a group of women has just been life-changing,” said Jaime Lawrence, owner of Harmony Garden Music Therapy Services.

There’s still well over a month until Michigan squares off against Ohio State on Nov. 30 in Columbus, but that doesn’t mean the two rivals aren’t hate-watching each other from week to week. With the Wolverines on a bye week, there’s no question that plenty of Maize and Blue faithful will be tuned in on Saturday night to watch the No. 2 Buckeyes take on No. 3 Oregon – and they’re all hoping for the same outcome.

As he was preparing to head out west to cover the big time Big Ten matchup, former Michigan offensive lineman Taylor Lewan pretty much said what every other Michigan football fan is thinking ahead of Saturday.

“Before out flight took off this morning, Ohio State fans were doing their dumb chants,” Lewan wrote. “I pray to whatever God is out there they get their hearts broken this weekend. Go Ducks.”

For the Buckeyes, this will be their first real test of the 2024 season. After beating up on a handful of MAC schools (including Michigan State) and playing one good half of football against Iowa, their fan base seems to believe they are unstoppable. While there’s no doubt that the roster is loaded with talent, we’re all eager to see what Ohio State looks like on the road in a tough environment against a formidable opponent.

And yes, we’re all Ducks fans this weekend.
