The Michigan Wolverines have been dominating on the recruiting trail this summer already, but now they have officially landed the most important five star talent of their entire 2026 recruiting cycle.

It’s exciting news, as Rivals Industry Rankings place Hiter as a five-star recruit, the No. 1 running back, the No. 1 player in Virginia and the No. 8 player in the nation. Last season for Louisa County High School, he racked up 1,698 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns.

The 6-foot-1, 215-pounder has earned scholarships from the likes of the Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama Crimson Tide, Arkansas Razorbacks, Tennessee Volunteers, and Florida Gators across his time on the prep scene.

Virginia native becomes Michigan's 23rd commit of the cycle, potentially creating a historic backfield pairing with top quarterback commit Bryce Underwood.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish named redshirt freshman CJ Carr as their new starting quarterback on Tuesday. Carr is the grandson of legendary former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr. Carr beat out sophomore Kenny Minchey to win the job, and will make his first start for the Fighting Irish when they face Miami on Aug. 31.

Michigan fans would love to see better QB production after the Wolverines threw more interceptions than TD passes in 2024. Bryce Underwood could change that.

Bridgeman is expected to contribute to the Spartans' defense this season, despite strong competition at the linebacker position. A relatively new face at linebacker is impressing for the Spartans during fall camp.

The punishment has been handed down for the Michigan Wolverines after the sign-stealing scandal, and college football fans are unimpressed.
