Two elite 2026 running backs to visit for Michigan football BBQ
The Michigan football recruiting BBQ won't be happening the same way in the future or at least at the same time after a change to the recuriting rules.
Next July will be a dead period. Right now, July is mostly a dead period except for that last weekend or so which is when Michigan football has hosted its recruiting BBQ.
The Wolverines will host it again this July and it's shaping up to be a star-studded affair for Michigan football. In the 2026 class, U-M is already working on getting some elite prospects on campus and Brady Hart, the 2026 QB commitment, is leading the way.
Hart will be back on campus for the Michigan Recruiting BBQ and joining him will be two of the top-ranked running backs in the 2026 class.
Two elite backs in 2026 to visit Michigan football
Savion Hiter is the No. 3 running back in the 2026 class according to the On3 Industry rankings. Hiter is 5-foot-11, 190 pounds and his visit to Michigan football in July for the BBQ will be the second trip he's made to Ann Arbor.
The Wolverines have done a solid job in the state of Virginia. Hiter has visited Ohio State and Georgia twice in 2024 so they are factors along with Michigan football. Virginia is the current leader according to the On3 prediction machine.
Javion Osborne, who is ranked 56th overall in the 2026 class according to the On3 Industry rankings will also visit for the BBQ according to EJ Holland of The Wolverine.

The 5-foot-10, 175-pound running back out of Texas hasn't visited Michigan yet. Texas, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma are all contenders but it's a good sign to get the talent back on campus for the BBQ.
