For the second year in a row, the Michigan Wolverines and head coach Sherrone Moore have secured a top-10 recruiting class.
With the commitment of five-star running back Savion Hiter, who is the No. 1 RB and No. 8 overall prospect in the class of 2026, the Wolverines flew into the top 10 of the national rankings, leapfrogging the Miami Hurricanes.
And, the best news is that Michigan is far from stepping off the recruiting trail.
After securing Hiter's commitment, Moore has continued to push for a few top-tier prospects to flip their commitments from various programs to the Wolverines.
Which recruits are Michigan trying to flip?
There are a handful of targets that Michigan is hunting down as the recruiting process for the class of 2026 continues to heat up.
Specifically, the Wolverines would love to land five-star safety Davon Benjamin, who is currently committed to the Oregon Ducks. Moore is also enchanted by a handful of linebackers and offensive linemen to beef up his units on both sides of the ball.
Who are the highlights of Michigan's 2026 recruiting class?
