Michigan secured a longtime target and a seismic addition to the program's 2026 class on Tuesday with a commitment from four-star running back Savion Hiter, No. 24 in the ESPN 300.
Hiter, a 6-foot, 200-pound rusher from Mineral, Virginia, is the cycle's No. 2 running back recruit and began Tuesday as the top uncommitted prospect in the 2026 ESPN 300. If he ultimately joins the Wolverines in 2026, Hiter will join as the program's highest-ranked running back signee in the ESPN recruiting rankings era, which dates to 2006.
A longtime priority target for Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore, Hiter announced his pledge to the Wolverines over finalists Georgia, Ohio State and Tennessee in a ceremony at Virginia's Louisa County High School.
