Wolverine TV: What would a Jeff Brohm hire mean for Michigan recruiting?

The Wolverine’s EJ Holland addressed several Michigan recruiting topics on the Tuesday edition of The Wolverine Live recruiting show, including how a Jeff Brohm hire would impact signees like five-star running back Savion Hiter.

Watch the full show above.

Hiter Recruitment

Michigan extended an offer to Hiter last offseason, shortly following the arrival of running backs coach Tony Alford.

Hiter and Alford built a strong bond and connected well on a personal level. Alford recruited Hiter dating back to his time at Ohio State.

He committed to Michigan in August over fellow finalists Georgia, Ohio State and Tennessee. He signed with the Wolverines this month and is set to enroll early.

Here is what Holland had to say about Hiter:

“There is a lot to like about Savion Hiter,” Holland said. “He’s a home run hitter. He is a guy who can run tough between the tackles, but he’s more of a true all-purpose back who can play all three downs. He can line up as a receiver. He can catch passes out of the back field. He’s actually really good in pass protection, too.”

At 5-foot-11, 190 pounds, Hiter is ranked as the No. 1 running back and No. 10 overall recruit in the country, per the Rivals Industry Ranking. He is also ranked as the No. 1 recruit in the state of Virginia.
