Michigan’s 4-Star Recruits Travis Johnson and Andre Clarke Poised to Shake Up College Football – What Experts Are Saying Will Surprise You
Michigan’s football recruiting engine is definitely firing on all cylinders as the program just wrapped what could easily be called one of its most promising weekends in recent memory. Bringing in top-tier prospects like four-star wideout Travis Johnson and cornerback Andre Clarke isn’t just a win for the coaching staff; it’s a signal that the Wolverines are on the cusp of something special with the 2026 class. Ten commitments are already on the board, and with buzz surrounding this latest haul, the Maize and Blue are positioned to stack their roster with talent hungry to make an impact. Even if the official word from Sherrone Moore hasn’t lit up the sky just yet, the crystal ball predictions from multiple recruiting services have cast their votes — and both Johnson and Clarke are trending toward the block M. It’s an exciting time to watch this scouting saga unfold, and if this weekend’s visits are any indication, Michigan’s recruiting momentum isn’t slowing anytime soon. LEARN MORE
- Michigan football hosted several key recruits this past weekend, including four-star wide receiver Travis Johnson and four-star cornerback Andre Clarke.
- Multiple recruiting sites predict that both Johnson and Clarke will commit to Michigan.
Johnson isn’t the only visitor this weekend from the DMV that Michigan football made a move with.Still, the June 13 recruiting weekend appeared to be a big success, so much so that two recruiting sites put in predictions for two separate prospects who were on campus this weekend.With 10 commitments thus far in 2026, the maize and blue are looking at building out the class even more, and appear poised to do so in short order (though the Sherrone Moore batsignal isn’t out just yet to indicate anyone has joined the fold at this juncture).
Chesapeake (Va.) Oscar Smith four-star wide receiver Travis Johnson
Clarke has visited Ann Arbor four times — more than any other school by double.
Johnson is also considering Virginia Tech, Penn State, South Carolina, and Indiana. He’s listed highest by ESPN, which has him as the No. 109 player in the country.
Michigan football is closing up its penultimate recruiting weekend of the late spring and early summer and with so many heavy hitters on campus, it’s not surprising that the Wolverines are making moves with some of them.
Richmond (Va.) Heritage four-star CB Andre Clarke
Johnson visited Ann Arbor this weekend and it apparently went quite well. The Michigan Insider’s Sam Webb and Steve Lorenz both put in 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions for the Wolverines to land him, and On3’s Steve Wiltfong and EJ Holland did the same on their site.
The Wolverines are looking at several top-flight cornerbacks, with Khary Adams and Andre Clarke being two of the top targets. Adams visited last weekend while Clarke visited Ann Arbor this week, and it appears that it went well for the latter. Sam Webb put in a 247Sports Crystal Ball while EJ Holland put one in on On3.
Kentucky had been considered the favorite, while SMU and Miami have also been pushing. He’s also listed highest on ESPN, which has him as the No. 100 player nationally.
The Wolverines have been targeting a handful of top-flight wide receivers in the 2026 class. Four-star Zion Robinson visited Ann Arbor in May, and five-star Calvin Russell is set to visit for Victors Weekend. But another mainstay in terms of targets has been Travis Johnson, a four-star from the DMV region.
