Michigan, Auburn, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Texas A&M stand toe-to-toe, all vying for his commitment, but one thing’s clear: Thomas isn’t just looking for a flashy school; he’s chasing a plan, a relationship, and a path where he’s truly valued. Can the Wolverines’ historic knack for developing elite defensive backs and their solid ties to the Garden State tip the scales in their favor? As the May 12th announcement looms, it’s almost like waiting for a cliffhanger to drop — will Michigan check all the boxes and land this prized prospect? Stay tuned; this one’s going to be worth it.
The Michigan football team could be landing another big commitment soon. The Wolverines recently picked up a couple of good 2026 prospets, and four-star cornerback Jordan Thomas could be the next.

In terms of what Thomas is looking for in his college, he wants to go to a place where the coaching staff has a good idea of what they want to do with him, and he wants to grow.
“Just somewhere I can go where they know me, they value me, where they have a plan for me,” Thomas said. “Somewhere I have a great relationship with them with like-minded individuals where I can be challenged to be good in all aspects of life.”
From what Thomas said, it sounds like Michigan checks a lot of boxes.
“They have a history of developing elite defensive backs over the years,” he added. “The have a great coaching staff that has a plan for me.”
