Wolverines add four-star cornerback following Ohio State defeat

Michigan football needed some good news following the 29-7 loss to Ohio State on Saturday, breaking the four-year winning streak against the Buckeyes. There is one positive coming out of a loss like that — with a big recruiting weekend, you can pitch to that next generation that they could be the difference makers.

The Wolverines hosted several top commits and prospects, among them being 2026 Waco (Tx.) Connally four-star cornerback Jamarion Vincent, who has been committed to Baylor for nearly a year. However, Michigan did get the win there, managing to flip the nation’s No. 168 recruit, regardless of position, on Sunday morning.

Vincent is rated the nation’s No. 20 cornerback and 21st-best player from the state of Texas. Here is the scouting report via 247Sports:

Lean, sinewy athlete with explosive playmaking in pads and on the hardwood. Quite narrow, but compensates with excellent height and length. Produced encouraging testing numbers and track and field data in Spring 2025 to lend valuable context to athleticism. Plays fast and does not appear deficient in top-end speed on the gridiron. Junior campaign showed improved acceleration and long speed vs. sophomore season. Extensive in-season snaps at quarterback. Three-phaser with impressive production on both sides of the ball. Needs to add some mass to bolster tackling ability and man coverage potential against larger pass catchers. Still developing technically, but assembled a terrific live evaluation at the Under Armour Dallas event in Feb. 2025, showcasing functional athleticism and position-specific instincts. Projects to the high-major level as a potential impact player with long-term pro upside.

Here is the current commit list for the maize and blue:

  • Mineral (Va.) Louisa County five-star RB Savion Hiter (No. 9 overall, 1st RB, 1st in Virginia)
