The Wolverines had a massive day on Tuesday, Aug. 19, when five-star running back Savion Hiter committed to Michigan. However, there was more to the moment than the team simply landing a blue-chip recruit.
When he announced his decision, Hiter was surrounded by his family, and everyone was wearing matching Michigan gear for the announcement. Following his commitment, Hiter and his entire family broke down in tears of joy for the young athlete.
Hiter is the No. 1 running back and the No. 8 overall prospect in the class of 2026, and the work that both he and his parents have put in has officially paid off.
