Tweets Of The Day

Michigan signed five-star running back Savion Hiter Thursday, and he’s slated among the top impact freshmen in the nation for the 2026 season, according to projections from Rivals.

When a team signs the number one prospect at their position, it’s highly likely that they have an opportunity to make an instant impact the moment they arrive on campus. But when the prospect is running back Savion Hiter and his future home is Ann Arbor, Michigan, you can virtually guarantee he is going to walk in and immediately contribute. The nearly 6-foot, 205-plus pound Rivals five-star back has elite vision and make-you-miss ability with an excellent build that should have zero issue adding weight while maintaining his athletic ability. If Justice Haynes declares early for the NFL Draft, Hiter should begin his career providing a strong 1-2 punch with Jordan Marshall. But even if Haynes were to stay for another year, as the third back in the rotation, Hiter should still be a contributor and Michigan would have arguably the best running back room in the entire country. – Rivals National Scout Cody Bellaire

Quote Of The Day

“I believe in the vision they have for me. I still like what they are doing with the offense. I think Bryce (Underwood) is a great player. I’m excited to play with him. Michigan has always felt like family.”
