Is This 4-Star DB Michigan’s Next Legendary Star in the Making?

Over the past weekend, Michigan’s football program rolled out the red carpet for several elite prospects, but none caught as much buzz as four-star safety Donovan Webb. This kid isn’t just another name on the board; he’s firmly on Michigan’s defensive radar, and with a commitment decision looming on July 2nd, the Wolverines could be about to add a player who reminds coaches a whole lot of Daxton Hill—the former Michigan star now making waves with the Cincinnati Bengals. Coming all the way from Frisco, Texas, Webb’s blend of athleticism, instincts, and playmaking ability has analysts and fans alike leaning in. And with scouts raving about his three-phase impact—tackling, coverage, and returns—it’s clear that landing Webb would be a serious scalp for Michigan’s recruiting haul. The countdown is on to hear where this promising safety’s allegiance lies. LEARN MORE

“They believe my play style is similar to Daxton Hill,” Webb said after his visit, according to a post from TheWolverine.com.“Shows some open-field speed-building ability. Also runs track. Plays a hyper-competitive style,” the scouting report continues. “Testing and track data suggest room to improve top-end speed. Can get too physical/handsy at times in coverage. Projects as a high-major safety with possible role versatility depending on down-and-distance situations. Could become a multi-year starter with the instincts and production that suggest potential beyond college.”Webb is a four-star recruit, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings. He is the #347 player in the 2026 class, the #29 safety and the #46 player in the state of Texas.
