Marcus Freeman’s Son Gets Recruited by Michigan Wolverines as 2026 Prospect Gains Significant Interest

If you thought college football rivalries were just for the gridiron, think again. Picture this: Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame’s head coach and a relentless recruiter, opens his front door—and it’s Michigan. Not Sherrone Moore, not even Jim Harbaugh, but Michigan wrestling head coach Sean Bormet, standing there, ready to talk business about the class of 2026 prospect. And the business? Recruiting Freeman’s son to Ann Arbor. Oh, the irony.

On February 3rd, Vinny Freeman, a dual-sport athlete out of Penn High School, dropped a snapshot on X, showcasing Michigan Wolverines wrestling head coach Sean Bormet’s home visit with the caption:

Vinny, currently ranked No. 7 in the 175-pound weight class, has been tearing up the mats with an 85-16 career record. He’s already garnered interest from top programs across the country, but this? This just hits different. A Michigan coach in the home of an Ohio State alum who now runs Notre Dame? Midwest wrestling, college football, and recruiting drama all in one—this is a movie.
