The Athletic sends unimpressed message on former Ohio State coach who helped Michigan land 5-star

TTUN just landed 5-star running back Savion Hiter, out-recruiting the Ohio State Buckeyes, Alabama Crimson Tide, Georgia Bulldogs, and Tennessee Volunteers for the Louisa County (VA) star.

The Athletic's Austin Meek believes it was long overdue for former OSU running backs coach Tony Alford, who has yet to reel in an elite RB until now, leaving the 2026 recruiting class behind the 8-ball at what was a position of strength.

Meek also spoke of how important it is for the Wolverines to have beaten the Buckeyes on the recruiting trail.
