Three-star Saline (Mich.) High quarterback Tommy Carr has flipped his commitment from Miami (Ohio) to Michigan.

Carr is the grandson of former Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr, who led U-M to a national title, and the younger brother of Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr.

Michigan already holds a commitment from one quarterback in three-star Newberry Park (Calif.) High signal-caller Brady Smigiel. However, Smigiel suffered an ACL injury this season, and the Wolverines are in need of more depth at the position.

Tommy had a strong senior season, leading Saline to a 10-2 record and an appearance in the state playoffs. He passed for 2,797 yards and 37 touchdowns with only five interceptions. He also rushed for 300 yards and eight scores

Tommy is ranked as the No. 57 quarterback and 972 overall recruit nationally, per the Rivals Industry Ranking. He is also ranked as the No. 18 overall recruit in the state of Michigan for this cycle.

Michigan has 25 commits in its 2026 recruiting class — five-star Mineral (Va.) Louisa County running back Savion Hiter, five-star Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga EDGE Carter Meadows, Top 100 Honolulu (Hawaii) Kamehameha offensive tackle Malakai Lee, Top 100 St. Louis (Mo.) DeSmet defensive lineman Titan Davis, Top 100 Billings (Mont.) West tight end Matt Ludwig, Top 100 Newberry Park (Calif.) High quarterback Brady Smigiel, On300 Needham (Mass.) St. Sebastian’s offensive lineman Marky Walbridge, On300 Chesapeake (Va.) Oscar Smith wide receiver Travis Johnson, On300 Irmo (S.C.) Dutch Fork EDGE Julian Walker, On300 Chicago (Ill.) Simeon EDGE McHale Blade, four-star Richmond (Va.) Hermitage defensive back Andre Clarke, four-star Mansfield (Texas) High wide receiver Zion Robinson, three-star Cartersville (Ga.) Cass offensive lineman Bear McWhorter, three-star Washington (D.C.)

Huguenot linebacker Markel Dabney, three-star Hinsdale (Ill.) Central kicker Micah Drescher, three-star Columbus (Ohio) St. Francis DeSales running back Jonathan Brown, three-star Wilmette (Ill.) Loyola Academy offensive lineman Tommy Fraumann, three-star Cincinnati (Ohio) St. Xavier linebacker Aden Reeder, three-star Jackson (Miss.) Hartfield Academy linebacker Kaden Catchings and three-star Phoenix (Ariz.) O’Connor long snapper Colton Dermer.

Michigan entered the day with the No. 11 ranked 2026 recruiting class nationally, per the On3 Industry team recruiting rankings. Michigan is also ranked No. 4 in the Big Ten. USC currently has the top class in the conference.
