While it seems like Michigan is pushing (almost) all their chips into flipping local star QB Bryce Underwood, the Wolverines are doing their due-diligence on another 2025 QB. Malik Washington, a Maryland pledge out of Severne, MD, is a name that is popping up. Ranked as 247sports’ No. 50 overall recruit and No. 5 QB, Rivals’ Adam Gorney shared that Michigan is looking into the 6-foot-4, 215-pounder.

With Maryland 1-6 in the B1G and 4-6 overall on the season, it’s unclear if the Terps will look to take a new direction under Mike Locksley. That certainly could impact the commitment status of Washington.
