The Wolverines lost one offensive lineman last week when three-star Sidney Rouleau decommitted, but Jim Harding and company did a solid job replacing him as quickly as they did.
Announced on Wednesday, 2027 three-star in-state offensive lineman Braden Chaffin has flipped his commitment from Stanford to Michigan.
The 6-foot-6, 290-pounder plays his high school ball right here in the state of Michigan at Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Sterling Heights. He was offered by Harding and the Wolverines on Oct. 30 and took an official visit to Ann Arbor for the game against Michigan State.

“Every kid from Michigan dreams of playing for the Wolverines, so I personally feel like I couldn’t pass up this opportunity to see what the new staff and university are about,” Chaffin told Rivals before his official visit. “I’m excited to talk and meet with the staff about their vision for how I could play a role but also the program moving forward.”
Rivals’ Allen Trieu ($) recently wrote about Chaffin and had this to say about him:
As a player, Chaffin showed a lot of potential in a big frame at an early age. He got out on the camp circuit and impressed, earning a few early offers. He transferred from University of Detroit Jesuit to Stevenson and had to sit out his junior season. That hampered his recruitment, but he came back as a senior and put together a good film, which helped lead to this Michigan offer.
Other than Michigan and Stanford, Chaffin also earned offers from UCLA, Northwestern, Minnesota, Louisville and more. He also took visits to places like Ohio State, Notre Dame and Michigan State, but never got offers from those schools.

Chaffin is the 23rd overall player and fourth offensive lineman to commit to Michigan’s 2027 class, joining four-stars Jakari Lipsey and Lincoln Mageo, and three-star Louis Esposito. Check out his latest highlights in the video down below.
