The Michigan football team extended an offer to a class of 2027 recruit on Wednesday, and this one is going to hit home for a lot of Wolverines fans. Four-star safety Charles Woodson Jr. announced that he has been offered by Michigan. Woodson Jr. is the son of Michigan legend Charles Woodson, who played for the Wolverines from 1995-1997. Woodson helped lead Michigan to a national championship in 1997, and he won the Heisman Trophy that season as well.

“NEW: Michigan has offered 2027 4-star safety Charles Woodson Jr,” On3 Recruits said in a post. “Jr. is the son of Wolverine legend and NFL Hall of Famer Charles Woodson.”

Charles Woodson Jr. is a four-star recruit, according to 247Sports. He is the #243 player in the 2027 recruiting class, the #23 safety and the #26 player in the state of Florida. Woodson Jr. currently attends Lake Nona High School in Orlando, FL. Because of the family history with the Michigan football program, it seems like the Wolverines probably have a good shot at eventually landing a commitment here.
