The Michigan Wolverines are making a strong push to flip four-star wide receiver Charles ‘Chuck’ Alexander Jr. from his commitment to the Louisville Cardinals. Alexander is a standout from Withrow High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, and is known for his impressive combination of size and speed.

Standing at approximately 6-foot-3 and weighing 185 pounds, Alexander has drawn attention for his ability to gain yards after the catch (YAC). His recruitment remains active despite his commitment to Louisville, and Michigan has extended an offer as part of its strategy to secure top talent from Ohio.

Key facts:

  • Alexander is currently committed to the Louisville Cardinals.
  • He has shown significant prowess as a wide receiver prospect.
  • Michigan joins Cincinnati, Kentucky, Wisconsin, South Carolina, and Virginia Tech in pursuing him.

Analysts describe Alexander as a “big play waiting to happen” with a “large-catch-radius.” His recruitment is part of Michigan’s broader efforts in the 2027 recruiting class, which emphasizes attracting elite players from key states like Ohio.

The Wolverines are focusing on this recruitment because Ohio has traditionally been a battleground for Big Ten talent. However, no timeline has been shared regarding when Alexander might make a final decision about his commitment.
