Michigan gets cornerback from Notre Dame
Tuesday, July 9, 2024

(ANN ARBOR) – Michigan flipped the commitment of four-star cornerback Ivan Taylor from Notre Dame on Monday afternoon, according to a source. This is a massive recruiting victory for coach Sherrone Moore and the Wolverines. Taylor, No. 41 in the ESPN 300 and the fifth-ranked cornerback in this cycle, had been pledged to the Fighting Irish since Dec. 1, 2023 and ranked as the highest-rated prospect committed to Notre Dame in 2025. The 6 foot, 175 pound defensive back now stands as the top player committed to Michigan in Moore's inaugural signing class in charge of the Wolverines. Taylor, the son of former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back and two-time Super Bowl champion Ike Taylor, is a standout cornerback at West Orange High School in Winter Garden, Florida. He made 45 total tackles, including six for loss, with one interception as a junior last fall. Taylor took four visits to Notre Dame before committing to the Fighting Irish late last year, over heavy interest from Florida State, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Louisville. Eight months later, following June visits to Alabama, Notre Dame and Michigan, Taylor's flip to the Wolverines plants him as the centerpiece of the program's incoming class. Shortly after Taylor's flip Monday, Michigan landed a commitment from four-star tight end Andrew Olesh, who now ranks as the highest rated offensive talent pledged to the program this cycle.
