Michigan football earns first 2024 commit in 4-star linebacker Mason Curtis

Michigan football picked up the first member of its 2024 class Monday as four-star linebacker Mason Curtis announced his commitment to the Wolverines.

Curtis picked U-M over Michigan State, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Cincinnati and multiple others. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound Nashville native is ranked as the No. 2 player in Tennessee and the No. 14 linebacker in the country by 247Sports' composite.

Michigan offered Curtis in April and his official visit to Ann Arbor came in mid-June. This fall, he'll enter his junior season at Ensworth High School in Nashville. During his sophomore season, Curtis' Tigers went 7-4 overall and 4-1 in district play.

Currently, Michigan's roster features four Tennesseans: defensive backs Kody Jones and Myles Pollard alongside linebackers Junior Colson and Trevor Andrews.
