Five-star running back Savion Hiter committed to Michigan on Tuesday during a ceremony hosted at Mineral, Virginia's Louisa County High School. Hiter, the top running back prospect in the class of 2026, chose the Wolverines over an impressive list of suitors including Tennessee, Georgia and Ohio State .

The Tennessee Volunteers were hopeful to land their top target at the running back position, but they narrowly lost the recruiting battle to a tough recruiting program. The news surfaced on Tuesday, as Savion Hiter from the state of Virginia announced his commitment.

The Michigan Wolverines have been dominating on the recruiting trail this summer already, but now they have officially landed the most important five star talent of their entire 2026 recruiting cycle.
