Michigan Gains Surprising 2026 RB Recruit Straight from Ohio State’s Backyard—What This Means for the Rivalry!
So, Michigan just pulled off a bit of a sneaky late-night move, snagging three-star running back Jonathan Brown from Ohio’s own Columbus—yes, right under Ohio State’s nose. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Johnny Brown, three stars? That doesn’t exactly scream blue-chip superstar.” True enough. But here’s the kicker—this kid showed serious promise at a recent Michigan camp, even snagging the RB MVP honor. And isn’t it deliciously ironic that the Wolverines didn’t just land a player; they got one from the heart of Buckeye country, a place where Ohio State didn’t even throw out an offer? There’s something poetic—and a little bit strategic—about that. With Michigan’s recruiting class ranked 45th so far, this kind of under-the-radar talent could very well turn the tide for Sherrone Moore’s squad. The real question—how hungry is Jonathan Brown going to be when it’s blue versus scarlet on Saturdays? Time will tell, but I’m betting on some fiery motivation.

Brown isn’t a very hery highly-rated recruit, but Michigan sees the potential in him. This pickup also feels good for the Wolverines as Brown is from Columbus, Ohio, right in Ohio State’s backyard.
