Michigan’s Charles Woodson Jr. Ranks Among Top Recruits for 2027 Class

Orlando, FL – On Tuesday afternoon, 247Sports unveiled its first comprehensive Top247 rankings for the 2027 recruiting class, featuring a notable name for Michigan fans: Charles Woodson Jr. The four-star safety from Lake Nona High School debuted at 244th overall in the country, placing him 23rd among safeties in his class.
Woodson Jr. is the son of Michigan Wolverines legend Charles Woodson, who is revered as one of the greatest players to wear the maize and blue. Early in his recruitment, the younger Woodson has received offers from Ole Miss, Syracuse, and Sacramento State. More schools are expected to pursue him as his recruitment unfolds.
The Woodson family has a strong connection to Michigan, with Charles Woodson Jr. visiting the campus multiple times alongside his father, who has coached his high school team in recent seasons. This connection is likely to play a pivotal role in his recruitment as he prepares for an important junior season.
Despite Michigan not having any commitments for the 2027 class as of now, Woodson Jr.’s performance on the field could quickly change that. His father, a former Heisman Trophy winner, is not only a household name but has also influenced his son’s development and future aspirations.
As a sophomore, Woodson Jr. continues to showcase promising talent on the field. His current ranking indicates a bright future, and fans are eager to see how his recruitment evolves in the coming months.
