With the Citrus Bowl looming and the coaching search still going, there isn’t a lot of attention on the recruiting world right now. The Michigan Wolverines have bigger fish to fry, but we do still have a couple
of things to go over in today’s Recruiting Roundup.
Savion Hiter named Virginia Player of the Year
The crown jewel of the 2o26 recruiting class for Michigan is five-star running back Savion Hiter. He was the top ranked running back in the entire class and is Michigan’s top ranked overall recruit. After a stellar senior year, Hiter was named the MaxPreps Virginia High School Football Player of the Year.
Hiter finished his high school career with another impressive campaign, leading Louisa County High School to an 11-1 record and an appearance in the state quarterfinals. Hiter finished the season with 110 carries for 1,445 yards and 25 touchdowns, which is impressive considering he missed two games. That’s right — he put up those numbers in just 10 games.
If Michigan loses Justice Haynes this offseason, which very well could happen, the running backs room will be in fine hands with Jordan Marshall returning and Hiter coming in.
Will four-star 2026 CB commit still enroll early despite Sherrone Moore firing?
Michigan was able to secure a commitment late in the 2026 cycle from four-star cornerback Jamarion Vincent, who flipped from Baylor after officially visiting for the Ohio State game. He was planning to enroll early, but shortly after committing, Sherrone Moore was fired.
Vincent’s high school coach, Terry Gerik, said that Vincent still plans to enroll early, but that hasn’t been confirmed. Whenever Vincent does get to Ann Arbor, he will be ready to compete.
“There’s going to be people in front of him, well, he’s going to try to get on scout team and try to go maul somebody or show them up because he loves to compete,” Gerik told On3’s Ethan McDowell ($). “He’ll be one of those kids that [says] ‘Coach put me on kickoff. I’ll do kickoff. Coach, I’ll be on punt.’ He’s just one of those kids. It’s not about him. More than the athletic ability, he’s a pretty humble guy, but he’s a competitor.”
At the end of the day, Vincent wants to make it to the league, and that is a big reason why he chose the Wolverines.
“More than anything, I think he just wants to see if he can develop and get to the next level after college,” Gerik added. “And he thought Michigan could help him do that.”
Moore’s firing has shaken a lot of things up, so it’s hard to know what any recruit will do. As of now, however, there is no indication Vincent will change his plans.
