Recruiting Story

Michigan already had Matt Ludwig committed but was keen on taking two tight ends in the 2026 class. Bonner was considering a few options but ultimately chose the Wolverines, set to likely be a pass-catching threat who can stretch the field.

First-year outlook

Most likely a year two or three candidate, but unlikely to see the field outside of special teams in year one. However, as a wide receiver in high school, could see a Colston Loveland-type of trajectory.

Notes

Scouting report

Here’s the scouting report from 247Sports’ Greg Biggins:

Long, athletic hybrid pass catcher who currently plays receiver but could grow in to a tight end. Estimated 6-6, 200-pound frame, but is pretty lean and narrow so eventual growth potential is the question. How much weight he can put on will be the big determining factor in positional home and long-term upside. Natural pass catcher who easily wins jump and 50-50 balls. Possesses a basketball background that is evident in body control and spatial awareness, especially when competing vs. smaller defensive backs. Smooth route runner but lacks some of the burst and suddenness you like to see at the receiver position. Fluid athlete and a smooth mover so developing more twitch to stay at receiver or bulking to play tight is what we’ll be watching moving forward. Regardless, an P4 prospect with physical tools that project well.
