Overview

  • Savion Hiter announced his commitment in a live social video, choosing Michigan over Tennessee, Ohio State and Georgia.
  • Per the 247Sports Composite, Hiter is the No. 9 overall prospect and the No. 1 running back in the 2026 cycle.
  • He becomes Michigan’s highest-ranked 2026 commit and, if his rating holds, would be the program’s first five-star RB signee since Derrick Green in 2013.
  • The 5-foot-11½, 200-pound Virginian posted 1,697 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns in 2024 while averaging 10.8 yards per carry.
  • His recruitment featured multiple trips to Ann Arbor, including a June official visit, with Tennessee making a strong late push before his decision.
