Wolverine TV: Will Michigan flip Top 100 LSU commit Havon Finney?

The Wolverine’s EJ Holland talked about several Michigan recruiting topics on the Tuesday edition of The Wolverine Live, including Top 100 LSU cornerback commit Havon Finney.

Watch the full episode in the video above.

Finney Recruitment

Michigan extended an offer to Finney back in February and got him on campus for his first visit in the spring.

Finney gave LSU a verbal commitment in late April, but Michigan secondary coach LaMar Morgan never stopped working behind the scenes. Morgan even visited Finney at Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon when U-M played against USC.

With LSU recently firing head coach Brian Kelly, the door is open for Michigan to make a move in this recruitment.

Here is what Holland had to say about Finney.

“I got a chance to see Finney live at the OT7 finals in Dallas this offseason,” Holland said. “He’s a tall, long corner with a ton of athleticism. Michigan has always been the biggest threat to flip him away from LSU. With LSU shaking up its staff, Michigan is in a prime position to get him back to Ann Arbor for a visit and potentially complete a big flip.”

At 6-foot-2, 170 pounds, Finney is ranked as the No. 12 cornerback and No. 89 overall recruit nationally, per the Rivals Industry Ranking. He is also ranked as the No. 11 overall prospect in the state of California.

Michigan has 22 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.)
