Jacob Bickersteth waited for the Michigan coaches to contact him once September 1st arrived last year.

The five-star junior was born and raised in the state, and his parents both graduated from Michigan. His heart was set on playing for the Wolverines.

Jacob Bickersteth Has Committed to Michigan

But Bickersteth endured a few nervous days waiting and wondering if Michigan wanted him. He heard from other programs, and visited other campuses just in case going to Michigan wasn’t an option.

Bickersteth was relieved once he heard from Michigan head coach Adam Steinberg, and didn’t hesitate to commit after receiving an offer.

“I just really love the atmosphere and it’s pretty much been my dream school since I was 8 years old,” Bickersteth said. “All of my family can come and watch me play since it’s pretty close to home.”
