George Washington III has committed to a different B1G program after previously pledging to Ohio State. This time around, Washington is committed to Juwan Howard’s Michigan program.
ESPN’s Jonathan Givony shared the news that the 6-foot-3 guard has committed to the Wolverines. Washington is considered an elite shooter and should have a chance to make an immediate impact in Ann Arbor.
George Washington III, ESPN’s No. 54-ranked prospect, has committed to Michigan, he told ESPN. The 6’3 combo guard is considered one of the best shooters in the 2023 high school class and will bring immediate firepower to Juwan Howard’s offense next season. pic.twitter.com/pDk18DzNEo

According to the 247 Sports Composite Rankings, Washington is a 4-star prospect out of Chaminade Julienne High School in Dayton, Ohio. The composite rankings have Washington as the No. 9 SG and No. 76 overall prospect nationally as well as the No. 2 player out of Ohio for the 2023 cycle.
Washington previously committed to Ohio State last November. He maintained that pledge all the way up until September of 2022 before reopening his commitment.
Washington joins 4-star big man Papa Kante as the first two commitments for Michigan’s 2023 recruiting class. We’ll see how Howard and his staff round out the cycle but that is a solid start for the Wolverines.
