Michigan Four-Star Commit Puts Florida Gators on Alert
Michigan Four-Star Commit Puts Florida Gators on Alert originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Florida Gators have been dealt some hope regarding a four-star Michigan Wolverines commit. Cornerback Brody Jennings has spoken to On3 regarding his recruiting process, and Billy Napier's Gators and the Miami Hurricanes will love hearing what Jennings has to say. Advertisement "I am not shutting things down yet," Jennings told On3. Both teams have continued to push for the Wolverines commit, who is a Florida native. He has been committed to Sherrone Moore's team since July 2024. However, they will need to continue to ensure that the relationship with Jennings remains strong as his home state schools look to convince him to flip. Florida Gators coach Billy Napier© Brianna Paciorka/News Sentinel / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Jennings is coming off an official visit to Ann Arbor, and despite still feeling good, he continues to explore what other programs can offer him. He has also taken OVs to the Georgia Bulldogs, the Florida State Seminoles, as well as Florida and Miami over the past several weeks. The Seminoles should also be on each other, as he is an FSU legacy whose father was a linebacker for the program. Sadly, he passed away just a few weeks ago. Advertisement The Mandarin High School prospect is currently in Indianapolis, coming in the Rivals Five-Star Challenge alongside the top 100 recruits from the 2026 class and beyond. It shows the character of Jennings; despite losing his father, he continues to put in the work regarding his future, all while dealing with the loss. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound corner is ranked the No. 29 cornerback and No. 41 player in Florida per the On3 Industry Rankings. He is also the No. 293-ranked player in the nation.

Michigan football loses 4-star CB target to rival school for 2026 recruiting class
Michigan football is set to hold its final official visit weekend of the late spring, early summer, and the Wolverines are hoping that it pays dividends. With three weekends preceding, the maize and blue knocked it out of the park with some prospects, but with others, perhaps they fell a little short. The Wolverines currently have one cornerback committed to the 2026 class in Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin four-star Brody Jennings, but there are a handful of other corners that the maize and blue have ben in strong contention for. Michigan is hosting Carrollton (Ga.) four-star corner Dorian Barney this weekend, and appears to be in the lead for Frisco (Tx.) Panther Creek four-star Donovan Webb. But perhaps atop the wish list was Towson (Md.) Loyola Blakefield four-star Khary Adams. Advertisement Ranked the No. 36 player in the country according to 247Sports, Adams had long appeared to be strongly considering Michigan football, Penn State, and Oregon. But ultimately, Notre Dame ended up winning out, as Adams pledged to the Irish on Friday. With Adams off the board, the Wolverines will likely work extra hard to keep Jennings in the fold -- which will be a challenge given that he's being highly pursued by the Florida schools and others within the SEC-ACC footprint. Webb could be the second addition, and he's starting to trend towards the Wolverines since his visit. Here are Michigan's current commitments in the 2026 class: Advertisement Newbury Park (Calif.) four-star QB Brady Smigiel (No. 83 overall, 7th QB, 12th in California) Billings (Mt.) West four-star TE Matt Ludwig (No. 160 overall, 9th TE, 1st in Montana ) Chicago (Ill.) Simeon four-star EDGE McHale Blade (No. 169 overall, 21st EDGE, 5th in Illinois) Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin four-star CB Brody Jennings (No. 277 overall, 24th CB, 43rd in Florida) Cartersville (Ga.) Cass four-star IOL Bear McWhorter (No. 399 overall, 33rd IOL, 48th in Georgia) Liberty Hill (Tx.) four-star DL Alister Vallejo (No. 411 overall, 44th DL, 55th in Texas) Denver (Colo.) Mullen three-star TE Mason Bonner (No. 600 via On3; 30th TE, 5th in Colorado) Dallas (Tx.) Parish Episcopal three-star WR Jaylen Pile (No. 714 overall, 103rd WR, 113th in Texas) Washington (D.C.) St. John's three-star EDGE Tariq Boney (No. 796 overall, 74th EDGE, 4th in D.C.) Hinsdale (Ill.) Central K Micah Drescher (No. 4 K, Chris Sailer Kicking) Phoenix (Ariz.) Sandra Day O'Connor five-star LS Colton Dermer (No. 6 LS) This article originally appeared on Wolverines Wire: Michigan football target, 4-star CB, commits elsewhere for 2026

Michigan football gains edge for 4-star CB in 2026 class after losing target to rival
Michigan football has one cornerback committed to the 2026 class in Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin four-star Brody Jennings. But his pledge has been tenuous, and the Wolverines have been looking to add multiple others to the class, whether he sticks or not. The Wolverines lost out on Towson (Md.) Loyola Blakefield four-star Khary Adams to Notre Dame, but there's another who visited recently, with whom Michigan is in high regard. Advertisement Once thought to be an Ohio State lean (per On3's Recruiting Prediction Machine, Frisco (Tx.) Panther Creek four-star cornerback Donovan Webb has officially visited Ann Arbor earlier in the month, but also saw Texas Tech, Colorado, Kansas State, and LSU throughout the cycle. However, it appears that LaMar Morgan and company have done a good enough job that On3's Chad Simmons and EJ Holland have both put in predictions that he'll be wearing a winged helmet in the end. The scouting report from 247Sports' Gabe Brooks: Ultra-productive safety prospect with three-phase playmaking experience. Volume tackler with passing game impact as well, as evidenced by consecutive 100-tackle seasons and nine INTs/19 breakups across soph-junior campaigns. Displays impressive athleticism as a return game threat (two TDs as a junior). Ballhawk who looks for the big play. Shows some open-field speed-building ability. Also runs track. Plays a hyper-competitive style. Testing and track data suggest room to improve top-end speed. Can get too physical/handsy at times in coverage. Projects as a high-major safety with possible role versatility depending on down-and-distance situations. Could become a multi-year starter with the instincts and production that suggest potential beyond college. Webb is set to make his decision final in relatively short order, with his commitment date set for July 2.
