Michigan football picks up prediction for standout 4-star WR
The post Michigan football picks up prediction for standout 4-star WR appeared first on ClutchPoints. A big area of concern for the Michigan football team last year was the wide receiver position. The Wolverines struggled offensively, and not having the right talent there was a big reason why. Advertisement Michigan is trying to change that in the 2026 class, and one of its top targets is four-star Zion Robinson. Robinson is one of the top WRs in the class, and he was recently predicted to land with the Wolverines. '2026 4-star WR Zion Robinson has been predicted to Michigan by 247sports Sam Webb,' uofmcoverage said in a post. Michigan and Miami seem to be in the best shape with Zion Robinson, but Stanford and Nebraska are recruiting him hard as well. He has not set a commitment date yet. This would be a big recruiting win for head coach Sherrone Moore and his staff. Robinson is a four-star recruit, according to 247Sports. He is the #71 player in the 2026 class, the #6 WR and the #10 player in the state of Texas. Robinson currently attends Mansfield High School in Mansfield, TX. Michigan is pretty far away from home. Advertisement 'Tall outside target pushing 6-foot-3 with excellent multi-sport athletic context in basketball and track and field,' Robinson's scouting report reads. 'More polished pass catchers are out there but very few boast this combination of above-the-rim hardwood context, a state championship high jump gold medal, and corresponding high-level athleticism in pads. Frame and explosion foster contested-catch dominance.' Robinson is good enough to be a major impact player at Michigan, and he has pro potential as well. 'Displays sneaky run-after-catch effectiveness relative to frame and straight-line top-end gear,' his scouting report continues. 'Shows adequate acceleration that times requires a build-up runway, but leads to breakaway long speed. Advertisement 'Still developing hands consistency and route technique, but showed encouraging signs during junior season and Spring 2025 elite camp evaluation. A particularly high-ceiling outside receiver prospect who could become an impact player in college with long-term pro potential.' The Michigan football team is in position to land a commitment from Zion Robinson. Now, the coaching staff has to find a way to close the deal.

The post Michigan football lands elite 4-star WR over Miami, Stanford appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Michigan football team picked up a huge commitment on Wednesday as four-star wide receiver Zion Robinson announced that he will play for the Wolverines. Michigan has had trouble landing elite WRs in past years, but head coach Sherrone Moore and WR coach Ron Bellamy did not miss here. Robinson picked the Wolverines over Miami and Stanford. Advertisement 'BREAKING: Four-Star WR Zion Robinson has Committed to Michigan, he tells me for @on3recruits,' Hayes Fawcett said in a post. 'The 6'4 185 WR from Mansfield, TX chose the Wolverines over Miami & Stanford.' Robinson is a four-star recruit, according to 247Sports. He is the #71 player in the 2026 class, the #6 WR and the #10 player in the state of Texas. Robinson currently attends Mansfield High School in Mansfield, TX. Michigan is pretty far away from home. 'Tall outside target pushing 6-foot-3 with excellent multi-sport athletic context in basketball and track and field,' Robinson's scouting report reads. 'More polished pass catchers are out there but very few boast this combination of above-the-rim hardwood context, a state championship high jump gold medal, and corresponding high-level athleticism in pads. Frame and explosion foster contested-catch dominance.' Robinson should end up being a major impact player at Michigan, and he has pro potential as well. Advertisement 'Displays sneaky run-after-catch effectiveness relative to frame and straight-line top-end gear,' his scouting report continues.

4-star OT chooses Michigan football over Alabama, Penn State
The post 4-star OT chooses Michigan football over Alabama, Penn State appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Michigan football team is getting hot on the recruiting trail as the Wolverines just landed their second commitment of the day. Wednesday has been a good one as Michigan first landed a commitment from four-star wide receiver Zion Robinson, and then it got better when four-star offensive tackle Marky Walbridge committed to the Wolverines as well. Walbridge was choosing between Michigan, Penn State and Alabama, and he chose to play for head coach Sherrone Moore and the Wolverines. Advertisement 'BREAKING: Four-Star OT Marky Walbridge has Committed to Michigan, he tells me for @on3recruits,' Hayes Fawcett said in a post. 'The 6'6 270 OT from Needham, MA chose the Wolverines over Alabama & Penn State.' Marky Walbridge kept things short and sweet with his Michigan football commitment message: 'Go Blue 〽️,' he said. Walbridge is a four-star recruit according to On3, but according to 247Sports' composite rankings, he is a three-star. Walbridge is the #447 player in the 2026 recruiting class, the #38 OT and the #2 player in the state of Massachusetts. He currently attends St. Sebastian's high school in Needham, MA. Advertisement The Michigan football team picked up a recruiting win over Alabama earlier this week as well when four-star defensive lineman Titan Davis chose the Wolverines over the Crimson Tide. These recruiting wins are just the latest victories for Michigan in their recent run of dominance against Alabama. Michigan and Alabama played each other on the gridiron twice during the 2024 calendar year, and the Wolverines won both matchups. The two teams played each other in the Rose Bowl College Football Playoff semi on New Year's Day to start the year, and Michigan won that one before winning the national championship about a week later. Then, the two teams played again on New Year's Eve in the ReliaQuest Bowl to end the year. Alabama was a big favorite, but Michigan won that game as well. From winning on the field to winning with recruits, Michigan has had Alabama's number as of late. That has to feel great for the Wolverines. This is another good pickup for Sherrone Moore and the Michigan football team, and the Wolverines have quickly seen their 2026 recruiting class surge in the rankings. Michigan's class was ranked #32 in the country earlier on Wednesday, and it is now all the way up to #15, according to 247Sports. Even more good news for Michigan: The program is still expecting multiple commitments to come in the coming weeks. This class should end up being one of the best in the country.

Michigan football secures 4-star WR Zion Robinson for 2026, revamping offense
Michigan football is looking to revamp the offense in a big way, having brought in No. 1 overall player in quarterback Bryce Underwood, offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey, wide receivers Donaven McCulley, Andrew Marsh, and Jamar Browder, and running back Justice Haynes. If all goes to plan, the Wolverines will look much different (and better) on the offensive side of the ball. But what about the future? Advertisement The maize and blue have one wide receiver committed thus far in 2026 Dallas (Tx.) Parish Episcopal three-star Jaylen Pile, but they're still making moves to fill out the rest of the class and the position group. On Wednesday, the Wolverines got a big boost, dipping again into the state of Texas, with Mansfield (Tx.) four-star wideout Zion Robinson committing to Michigan football. He announced his commitment on Instagram live. Scouting report Here's the scouting report on Robinson from 247Sports' Gabe Brooks: Tall outside target pushing 6-foot-3 with excellent multi-sport athletic context in basketball and track and field. More polished pass catchers are out there, but very few boast this combination of above-the-rim hardwood context, a state championship high jump gold medal, and corresponding high-level athleticism in pads. Frame and explosion foster contested-catch dominance. Displays sneaky run-after-catch effectiveness relative to frame and straight-line top-end gear.

Still developing hands consistency and route technique, but showed encouraging signs during junior season and Spring 2025 elite camp evaluation. A particularly high-ceiling outside receiver prospect who could become an impact player in college with long-term pro potential. At 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, the No. 71 player in the country, according to 247Sports, should give a big boost to the Wolverines' passing attack. He chose the maize and blue over Miami, Texas Tech, Stanford, and Nebraska. Junior highlights The current class and who Michigan is still targeting Michigan football is still working on 2026 Chesapeake (Va.) Oscar Smith four-star wideout Travis Johnson, and appears to have surged in the recruitment of Miami (Fla.) Northwestern five-star Calvin Russell.

Michigan football recruiting surges with 4-star OL Marky Walbridge commit
Michigan football recruiting has been on a heater, and you never interrupt a school when it's on a heater. The Wolverines have been on multiple commit watch ever since the conclusion of the June official visit cycle and thus far have netted two pledges in four-stars DT Titan Davis and WR Zion Robinson. The question then became, who's next? Advertisement With Sherrone Moore at the helm, you always know that offensive line is going to be a priority for the maize and blue, yet Michigan only had one offensive lineman committed in 2026 in Cartersville (Ga.) Cass four-star IOL Bear McWhorter. Until now. After what appears to be a successful official visit to Ann Arbor for Victors Weekend, Needham (Mass.) St. Sebastian's four-star offensive lineman Marky Walbridge committed to Michigan football over Alabama, Penn State, and Boston College. Walbridge is rated highest by On3, which has him as the No. 235 player in the country, regardless of position. He's listed as an interior lineman by On3 but an offensive tackle by 247Sports -- which ranks him as a three-star. Advertisement Here is what the class looks like with Walbridge in the fold using the 247Sports Composite rankings: Newbury Park (Calif.) four-star QB Brady Smigiel (No. 83 overall, 8th QB, 12th in California) St. Louis (Mo.)
