The Michigan Wolverines are hoping for a big summer on the recruiting trail, particularly when it comes to the 2026 recruiting class. After head coach Sherrone Moore and his staff landed a top 10 class in 2025, this year's class has been slow to materialize. As of this writing, the Wolverines currently have 7 commitments in the 2026 class.

Here's where Michigan ranks nationally and within the Big 10 according to 247Sports, On3, and Rivals.

  • Nationally: No. 40
  • Big Ten: No. 14

On3

  • Nationally: No. 17
  • Big Ten: No. 6

Rivals

  • Nationally: No. 31
  • Big Ten: No. 9

Although the class isn't all that impressive just yet, Michigan is in the hunt for several top prospects. One of those top prospects is Savion Hiter, the No. 1 ranked running back in the nation. Although Hiter had a visit to Ohio State over the weekend, On3 recruiting insider Steve Wiltfong recently indicated that he still believes it's a two-horse race between Michigan and Tennessee.

Michigan is also making a strong push for guys like Davon Benjamin, Carter Meadows, Zion Robinson, Shadarius Toodle, and Malakai Lee.

Here's the latest look at Michigan's 7 current commitments in the 2026 recruiting class:
