Heading into the 2026 season, Michigan's offense has its quarterback for the meantime, but not much depth behind him. Tommy Carr is slated to be the backup for now, and the staff has already identified its 2027 headliner in Kamden Lopati.
Lopati is a consensus four-star quarterback, but who might be the next five-star prospect that the coaches can realistically circle as Kyle Whittingham's highest-rated quarterback recruit since retaining Bryce Underwood?
5-star quarterbacks that could be next for Michigan football
To do that, you have to veer into the future and the 2029 class of gunslingers. One prospect who stands out is from a familiar high school where Michigan has pulled talent from before. Paramus Catholic of New Jersey has a freshman who is on the short list of many colleges, including Michigan's. He could even follow in the footsteps of Rashan Gary and Jabrill Peppers and be the No. 1 overall recruit of the class before he steps foot on campus.
Scouting services have proclaimed that Walker Snee may be the next five-star from Paramus, who has already got an offer from Michigan. An early list of the 2029 class by rnrsportsmedia.com ranks Snee as one of the top pocket passer/dual threat signal callers in the country. 247sports and On3 have Michigan clearly in his sights for his services. Snee even said himself that the scholarship offer "means a lot to him."
His father played at Boston College and with Eli Manning in the NFL, so Walker has a wealth of quarterback gurus to advise him on choosing the right destination for him. Transferring to Paramus Catholic will speed up his process of becoming the elite prospect that many envision him being.
For the 2028 class, Michigan football whiffed on Jayden Wade, but could put the pressure on Donald Tabron II not to leave the state of Michigan. Cass Tech has been a factory of players for many Wolverines over the years. Tabron II could be a five-star by the time the new rankings evolve.
