Since committing to Michigan in October 2024, four-star wide receiver Jaylen Pile is becoming a leader in building the Wolverines' recruiting class. 
Pile has taken on a recruiting role of his own, working closely with offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey and head coach Sherrone Moore. The coaching staff has now included him in their targeted recruit discussions.

Pile has wholeheartedly entered this leadership opportunity for the Wolverines. He focuses on persuading potential recruits to visit and consider the benefits of committing to Michigan. It's work that makes a difference, he said.

“Surrounding myself with the best people possible, I feel like, is going to elevate my game and everybody else's game, and everybody knows that, when they're making those Top 5s, Top 10s, you're always going to see a yellow M in there," he stated in a Sports Illustrated article.

This leadership quality demonstrates Pile's dedication to his personal development as a player and the future success of Michigan football. His work is invaluable to the Wolverines as the team strives to attract the talent needed to remain a serious contender.

Matt’s been in the media game his whole life. He kicked things off at WOVI, his high school station in Novi, MI, then hit the airwaves at Impact 89FM while at Michigan State. But after realizing he didn’t quite have the voice for radio, he made the jump to TV—spending 23 years working for CBS, FOX, and NEWSnet. Now, he’s come full circle, back in radio as Detroit’s Digital Program Director, making noise behind the scenes and keeping things running strong online.
