Elite 2027 QB Peter Bourque commits to Michigan football over Penn State
When it comes to Michigan football recruiting, the Wolverines have done their best when they've had an early ringleader -- especially a quarterback -- leading the charge. It's always a good thing to get an early pledge from a high-profile QB early in the process, much like the maize and blue had with J.J. McCarthy, who was committed years before he actually enrolled. Now, though not as long-tenured, it appears as if the maize and blue have their man. Thought long to be a Penn State lean, Marion (Mass.) Tabor Academy four-star signal caller Peter Bourque has been long connected with the Wolverines. It had looked as if he would end up elsewhere while Michigan had zeroed in on Louisiana-based four-star Malachi Zeigler. But things took a sharp turn over the weekend, and on Monday morning, Bourque committed to Michigan. Here's the scouting report via 247Sports: 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. Bourque is the Wolverines' third commitment of the 2027 class, joining offensive linemen Louis Esposito and Tristan Dare. He's listed at 6-foot-4, 190 pounds and is rated highest by the 247Sports Composite, which has him as the No. 75 player in the country, and the sixth-best quarterback in the cycle.

Michigan football surges in race for 2027 four-star QB Peter Bourque, per On3 predictions
Just when it looked as if Michigan football was narrowing in on its 2027 quarterback, things changed -- perhaps for the better. The Wolverines were connected to Benton (La.) four-star QB Malachi Zeigler, as the player who appeared to be the top target at the position seemed to be trending elsewhere. However, on Saturday, the momentum shifted, and one of the familiar names now looks to be getting closer to choosing the maize and blue. Hailing from Marion (Mass.) Tabor Academy, four-star signal caller Peter Bourque has long had a connection to the Wolverines. And now, according to Steve Wiltfong and others at On3, Bourque is trending toward choosing Michigan football. Bourque is rated as the No. 75 player in the country, regardless of position, according to the 247Sports Composite. He's the sixth-best quarterback and top player in the state of Massachusetts. He's listed at 6-foot-4, 190 pounds as he prepares to enter his junior year. Here's the scouting report via 247Sports: 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.

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. Penn State had previously been considered the favorite. It's unclear Bourque's timeline, but with the official Michigan football X account indicating a commitment is nigh, along with Bourque posting eyeball emojis soon after (which is what head coach Sherrone Moore uses to indicate a commitment is coming), it could come along sooner than later if the predictions are accurate.

Stars re-sign Mavrik Bourque and Nils Lundkvist, young players still searching for roles
FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Stars have re-signed two young players still searching for roles, with forward Mavrik Bourque and defenseman Nils Lundkvist agreeing to one-year contracts. Bourque played in 73 regular-season games in 2024-25, but dressed for just three playoff games as the Stars lost in the Western Conference final for the third consecutive year. Edmonton beat Dallas in five games after winning in six last year. The 23-year-old Bourque signed for $950,000, the Stars said Friday. He tallied 25 points (11 goals) last season. Bourque was the 30th overall pick in the first round by Dallas in 2020. Bourque made his NHL debut on April 6, 2024, the only game he played in 2023-24. He also made one playoff appearance that season. Lundkvist has been a disappointment since the Stars traded a first-round pick for him before the 2022-23 season. He was drafted in the first round by the New York Rangers in 2018. Injuries limited the 24-year-old to 39 games in the regular season, and Lundkvist didn't appear in the postseason after playing sparingly in most of his 12 playoff appearances in 2024. His second consecutive one-year contract is for $1.25 million. Lundkvist has 44 points (nine goals) in 183 games over four seasons.
