Michigan picked up its 24th verbal commitment Monday when linebacker Josh Furman picked the Wolverines over Virginia Tech, according to Rivals.com.

Furman made his announcement at the Maryland Crab Bowl, an all-star game that pits Baltimore- and Washington D.C.-area prep stars.

The 6-foot-2, 194-pounder reportedly ran a 4.36-second 40-yard dash last spring.

He led Millersville (Md.) Old Mill High to a state championship as a running back/defensive back, but will play outside linebacker for the Wolverines.

Furman, who suffered a left knee injury in the championship game, did not play in Monday's game.
