With a key visit set for June, Michigan has a prime opportunity to make its case in one of the most competitive recruitments of the cycle
Savion Hiter, the No. 1-ranked running back in the 2026 recruiting class, remains high on Michigan, and his connection with running backs coach Tony Alford continues to grow. The five-star talent has made it clear: the Wolverines are a serious contender in his recruitment.
Hiter is working to finalize his official visit to Ann Arbor, with June 13 as the likely date. That visit could be a game-changer, giving Michigan a critical chance to separate itself from the pack in one of the fiercest recruiting battles of the cycle.
For Michigan, the appeal starts at the top. Head coach Sherrone Moore is quickly establishing himself as one of the most respected figures in college football. Tony Alford, who has a history of developing elite backs at both the college and NFL levels, is making a strong case for why Hiter should join the Wolverines’ backfield. Offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey’s system is another factor—his offensive approach could provide Hiter with an opportunity to shine early and often.
With June 13 shaping up to be a key visit date, Michigan has a golden opportunity to solidify its standing. The Wolverines are fully invested in this recruitment, and they’ll do everything possible to ensure Hiter sees Michigan as the best place to develop and compete at the highest level. The race for the nation’s top running back is far from over, but Michigan is very much in the hunt
Michigan has made it clear that Hiter is a top priority in the 2026 class. Landing him would be a statement, not just because of his on-field ability, but because of the leadership and presence he brings to a locker room. With a strong coaching staff, an offensive system built for playmakers, and a chance to compete for championships, Michigan is making a compelling case
