There was a time when Michigan football got just about anyone it wanted from the state of New Jersey. Players such as Jabrill Peppers, Rashan Gary, Drew Singleton, Michael Dwumfour, and others were integral in what was called the New Jersey to Michigan pipeline, spearheaded by former recruiting director and linebackers coach Chris Partridge — the former head coach of Paramus (N.J.) Catholic.
However, despite efforts, particularly to recruit Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic, the Wolverines have struggled as of late.
Michigan football is still persistently recruiting the school and will get a standout from Bergen Catholic on campus in short order. According to On3 (subscription required), 2026 four-star cornerback Jordan Thomas will be visiting Ann Arbor on April 15, just days before the annual spring game.
As noted, Thomas will also be visiting Ohio State, Auburn, Texas A&M, USC, and Miami during his spring visit cycle.
Thomas is listed highest by 247Sports which has him as the No. 124 player in the country, regardless of position. He’s also listed as the No. 2 player in the state of New Jersey.
