Michigan is actively pursuing top recruits, with significant attention on quarterback prospects for the 2026 class.
Brady Smigiel Trending to Michigan: Four-star quarterback Brady Smigiel, ranked among the top quarterbacks nationally in the 2026 class, appears to be leaning towards Michigan.
Recruiting experts, like Steve Wiltfong of On3, have placed predictions for Smigiel to land with the Wolverines.
Smigiel visited Ann Arbor for Michigan’s spring game and seemed to have a very positive experience. However, other top programs like Florida State, Notre Dame, Oregon, and Washington are also in the mix.
The commitment of five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood in the 2025 class is a significant factor in 2026 quarterback recruiting. Underwood is expected to compete for the starting role and could be the starter for the next three seasons. This means any 2026 quarterback commit will need to consider the possibility of waiting for their opportunity to start.
