Michigan Stuns Fans by Stealing 4-Star WR from Georgia’s Grasp in Shocking Commitment Flip

Recruiting season for Michigan football? Well, it’s been quite the rollercoaster—like trying to catch lightning in a bottle while the wind’s changing direction. They nailed down Savion Hiter, the No. 1 running back in the Class of 2026, despite other big-league programs sniffing around. But every high has its low: a four-star QB they had committed up and suddenly flipped to South Carolina. Talk about the recruiting version of musical chairs! With National Signing Day stirring the pot nationwide and coaching shifts shaking the ground, commitments have been flipping faster than you can blink. And now, Michigan’s scooped up a major prize—Brady Marchese, a four-star wideout who was all-in for Georgia since March but is now donning the maize and blue. Standing 6’1” and clocking in at 185 pounds, this Cartersville High School stand-out wasn’t just a local gem; ESPN ranks him as the No. 8 wide receiver nationally—and that’s a serious catch for Sherrone Moore’s squad. Amid some recent coaching staff shuffles, the Wolverines aren’t just playing defense in recruiting—they’re making bold plays that could tip the scales in their College Football Playoff quest next season. Curious how this all shakes out? LEARN MORE.

The recruiting cycle has been busy for the Michigan football program. Michigan landed the top running back in the Class of 2026, Savion Hiter, despite interest from other programs. On the flip side, the Wolverines lost a four-star quarterback commit as he flipped and went to South Carolina.

With plenty of coaching changes around the country, there have been a ton of flips after National Signing Day kicked off on Wednesday.

Now, the Michigan football program is involved in another flip, this time a good one, per Hayes Fawcett of On3

‘BREAKING: Four-Star WR Brady Marchese has Flipped his Commitment from Georgia to Michigan, he tells me for @rivals. The 6’1 185 WR had been Committed to the Bulldogs since March.”

Marchese, who plays at Cartersville High School in Georgia, committed to Kirby Smart’s team in March. He also had offers from Virginia Tech, Florida and Florida State, among others.

ESPN has Marchese as the No. 8 WR in the class and the No. 60 recruit in the class, so this is a big get for head coach Sherrone Moore and his program.

Michigan fired its special teams coach recently, but there is some continuity expected in Ann Arbor in hopes of making a College Football Playoff run next year. Michigan finished with a 9-3 record and a 7-2 mark in Big Ten Conference play, with the lone losses coming against Oklahoma, USC and Ohio State, all of whom are in the top-25.

Marchese will be a big target going forward in a massive development for the Wolverines.
