The non-Savion Hiter freshmen to watch for on Michigan Football in 2026

Michigan’s 2026 recruiting class is ranked No. 11 nationally by 247Sports and On3, according to the article, and focuses on freshmen expected to make an impact beyond the headline five-star running back Savion Hiter. Carter Meadows, an edge rusher from Washington D.C., is noted as having higher rankings than Hiter on both sites, though he is described as less discussed due to not being an early enrollee. Titan Davis, a four-star defensive lineman from St. Louis, Missouri, is mentioned as fitting the Mike Morris/Kris Jenkins style and aligning with Jay Hill’s defensive scheme. The piece also highlights offensive tackle Malakai Lee of Honolulu at 6-foot-7 and 349 pounds, with a path to left tackle despite depth-chart congestion. Other recruits named include wide receiver Travis Johnson, defensive lineman Alister Vallejo, cornerback Jamarion Vincent, edge rusher Tariq Boney, offensive lineman Marky Walbridge, and quarterback Tommy Carr.
