Cole Sullivan Michigan Commitment: A Three-Star Recruit Prioritizing Excellence on and off the Field

Cole Sullivan, Michigan linebacker

In an exciting development for fans, the Michigan Wolverines, already boasting the nation’s #1 recruiting class for the 2024 cycle, have secured the commitment of three-star linebacker Cole Sullivan. Standing at an impressive 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, Sullivan hails from Central Catholic High in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and is poised to make an impact on the Wolverines’ defense.

Sullivan, who 247Sports ranks as the 17th best linebacker in Pennsylvania, brings a winning combination of strength and speed to the Michigan squad. Known for his explosive closing speed and his ability to consistently drive offensive players backward, Sullivan’s athletic prowess is beyond question.

However, the race to secure Sullivan’s commitment was a hard-fought one, with Michigan, Notre Dame, Stanford, and Duke all in the hunt. Notably, Sullivan’s choice of potential schools indicates a commendable focus on academic achievement, in addition to athletic success. It’s a testament to the young athlete’s dedication to excelling both on the field and in the classroom.

The Wolverines’ new hire, Chris Partridge, played a pivotal role in securing Sullivan’s commitment. As Sullivan’s primary recruiter, Partridge has already begun to make his mark on the Wolverines’ recruiting process. With the top-ranked recruiting class for 2024 already in their pocket, the addition of Sullivan further highlights the effectiveness of Partridge’s approach.

Despite being a three-star recruit, Sullivan’s potential is vast. His size, combined with his knack for getting to the ball, makes him a valuable addition to the Wolverines’ defense. Under Partridge’s guidance, Michigan fans can anticipate Sullivan making significant contributions on the field.

Cole Sullivan’s commitment to Michigan not only strengthens the Wolverines’ #1 ranked 2024 recruiting class but also embodies the student-athlete’s pursuit of excellence both in sport and academics.
