The Michigan football team is looking for players, and it seems almost odd that the Wolverines have not received a commitment in nearly a week given the rapid pace at which commitments are coming in.
One of Ann Arbor’s visitors in June was 2025 Alpharetta (Ga.) four-star edge rusher Julius Holly. Holly is a 6-foot-3, 225-pound dual-sport end who also played basketball in high school. According to 247Sports, Holly ran the 40-yard dash in 4.8 seconds.
Holly also visited and considered Georgia, Stanford, Ole Miss and Texas A&M, but ultimately decided on Michigan Football University as his target college on Saturday.

Here’s how Holly is rated by recruiting services:
| * | Above. | Item No. | St. | |
| 247Sports Composite | 4 | 301 | 22 | 38 |
| On3 Industry Ranking | 4 | 295 | 37 | 35 |
| 247Sport | 3 | – | 31 | 41 |
| On 3 | 4 | 236 | 25 | 29 |
| ESPN | 4 | – | 34 | 42 |
| Rivals | 4 | – | 22 | 41 |
Holly is Michigan football’s 13th recruit and the first edge rusher in the class (although defensive lineman Jaylen Williams would be a good fit for the edge spot). With Holly on the team, the Wolverines have 10 recruits who are four-star players and three who are three-star players, according to the 247Sports Composite.
Oklahoma, Penn State and Tennessee were some of Holly’s other big offers. Georgia was the favorite until a few days before he signed with the Wolverines.
