Michigan Football continues to recruit top quarterbacks.
The latest member of a lineage that already includes 2025 five-star Bryce Underwood and 2026 four-star Brady Smigiel is 2027 four-star Peter Bourque.
According to Rivals, Bourque has committed to the Wolverines.
Bourque is a 6-foot-4, 190-pounder from Marion, Massachusetts, and Tabor Academy who is ranked as a top-10 QB in his class and a top-100 overall player. He is atop his state leaderboard, too.
Here is what 247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins had to say about Bourque:
“Towering pocket passer with a live arm that has turned heads with his exit velocity, release points and ball placement. Will head to college with a little more seasoning than others after electing to reclassify and move back a year. That gained maturity constantly shows up on tape as he’s a decisive thrower that limits risks. Sees the field well and will let route concepts develop while coordinating a modern pro-style attack. Rips tight spirals to the second and third levels with ease and has proven to be extremely efficient working off play-action. Grew up playing lacrosse and those movement skills translate over to the gridiron as he will climb away from pressure and step into throws. Not one that’s afraid to embrace contact. Hasn’t faced the highest-level of competition in New England, but has delivered in key moments, which counts. Should be viewed as a potential multi-year starter at the Power Four level that can challenge defense vertically.”
Regardless of where Bourque ends up on future Michigan depth charts, it is an encouraging sign that even with a true freshman taking the reins this fall, top high schoolers still want the opportunity to don the maize and blue.
Underwood’s commitment did carry the risk of impeding future recruitments, but guys like Smigiel and now Bourque have put those worries to rest.
