Michigan football named in top 4 by 2026 four-star CB Dorian Barney, visiting June 20
Michigan football recruiting is heating up, and it's hitting the southern region of the United States hard, trying to attract top talent to Ann Arbor.
The Wolverines have seven commitments as of current, and three are within the SEC and ACC footprint, with one pledge from Georgia, one from Florida, and another from Texas. With official visits set to begin this week, the maize and blue assuredly will find more top-tier targets from down south who opt to come north and wear a winged helmet.
One prospect that the maize and blue have been hot and heavy for, who is set to visit soon, just revealed his top group, indicating that the Wolverines are continuing to surge in his recruitment.
Dorian Barney reveals top group and commitment date
Michigan has been working hard on 2026 Carrollton (Ga.) four-star cornerback Dorian Barney, the 6-foot-1, 180-pound defensive back who is listed as the No. 75 player in the country according to Rivals. On Tuesday, Barney revealed his top four schools and the Wolverines made the cut, along with Penn State, Georgia Tech, and Texas A&M. He's set to make his commitment on July 5.
Michigan has one cornerback tentatively pledged in Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin four-star Brody Jennings, the longest-tenured commit of the cycle. However, Jennings is being aggressively pursued by other top schools in his region and is actively taking visits elsewhere.
Barney's visit to Ann Arbor is set
Barney is set to visit Ann Arbor for Victors Weekend on June 20, the premier recruiting weekend for the maize and blue this cycle. Currently, Penn State has a lead in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, but there's still a lot of time for the Wolverines to surge in his recruitment. He visited Ann Arbor for the spring game this year.
Also a basketball player, the visit to Ann Arbor will be crucial for the maize and blue to make up some lost ground, as the Nittany Lions have received the most visits thus far, with Barney having been to University Park multiple times, and Georgia Tech four times.

Michigan football all-transfer portal team: Top Wolverines stars revealed
Michigan football all-transfer portal team: Top Wolverines stars revealed In the not-so-distant past, it was something of a rare occasion that you'd see teams like Michigan football taking in many, if any, transfers. But with the transfer portal now essentially unrestricted, especially with NIL, if you're not bolstering your team with incoming transfers, you're not trying very hard to win games. Michigan football has gotten on board in recent years, not going as portal crazy as some other teams -- relying more on recruiting out of high school -- but the Wolverines have added some key pieces that have helped the team win. So we're doing a bit of a thought exercise: what would an all-transfer portal team look like for the maize and blue? Given that Michigan hasn't been as prolific in the portal as some other programs, there are some key positions that don't have more than one player. And some of our inclusions are current players on this 2025 team -- whether they've been on campus for a while or they're just joining. With that in mind, here is our all-transfer portal team for the Michigan Wolverines. Offense QB - Shea Patterson Former school: Ole Miss We're getting controversial right out of the gates. Patterson was a former five-star who didn't quite rise to the level that Michigan fans expected. He had a solid year in 2018, helping the Wolverines go from 8-5 the year before to 10-3. In 2019, he was injured on his first play from scrimmage, but by the year's end, he was firing on all cylinders, with three 300-plus yard games to close out the regular season. Alternate: Jake Rudock, Iowa RB - Justice Haynes Former school: Alabama Haynes has yet to play an actual game for the Wolverines, only the spring game, where he rushed six times for 51 yards. But he's expected to be a co-starter along with Jordan Marshall, and has very high expectations as he enters his junior year. Alternate: Ty Isaac, USC TE - AJ Barner Former school: Indiana Michigan actually does a stellar job recruiting tight ends out of high school so it's pretty rare that it goes out and gets one in the transfer portal. Yet, despite Colston Loveland emerging as a potential star at the end of 2022, it went out and got Barner to pair with him, and he ended up being stellar for the Wolverines as a pass-catching threat. Alternate: None LT - LaDarius Henderson Former school: Arizona State We could have gone with Myles Hinton here, but since he's played on both sides, we've chosen Henderson here. It took a few games to get going, but he ultimately settled in at left tackle, en route to Michigan's 2023 national championship. Alternate: Brady Norton, Cal Poly LG - Josh Priebe Former school: Northwestern Though expectations were very high that Priebe would come in and look the same as the previous few years' transfers along the offensive line, he didn't quite rise to that level. It took him most of the season to find his groove, but he ended up being OK once he got fully acclimated. Alternate: None C - Olu Oluwatimi Former school: Virginia The greatest of the O-line transfers for the Wolverines, Oluwatimi was a standout and engine for the best offensive line in the country. Not only did he become an alternate captain, but he won the Rimington Trophy, given to the nation's best center, and helped lead the OL to a second-straight Joe Moore Award. Alternate: Drake Nugent, Stanford RG - Lawrence Hattar Former school: Ferris State Little is known as of yet about Hattar, who arrives on campus this summer. But due to a lack of incoming transfers, we've slotted him in here. Alternate: None RT - Myles Hinton Former school: Stanford Hinton makes the list after all. He was hit-or-miss in 2023, his first year in Ann Arbor, despite getting the nod to start right away. But he improved greatly, actually, after moving to left tackle in 2024, which allowed him to get drafted in 2025. Alternate: None WR - Donaven McCulley Former school: Indiana It actually speaks volumes that Michigan football doesn't have a productive wide receiver transfer who's already played in games at the top here (because there really aren't any), thus we're going with the expected No. 1 wideout coming into 2025. McCulley had a solid 2023 in Bloomington, had one catch in the spring game for the Wolverines this year, for 25 yards, and should be formidable in the new-look Chip Lindsey offense. Alternate: C.J. Charleston, Youngstown State WR - Anthony Simpson Former school: UMass Even less is known about Simpson, who was productive for UMass in 2023. He comes to Ann Arbor as the receiver on the roster with the most yards (at the FBS level) and figures to be a factor in 2025. Alternate: Amorion Walker, Ole Miss (via Michigan) WR - Daylen Baldwin Former school: Jackson State There were high hopes for Baldwin when he came in 2021, but his big highlights were a pair of touchdown catches in garbage time against Western Michigan and Wisconsin (both from then-freshman J.J. McCarthy). He never quite settled in beyond that and left some potential on the table. Alternate: None Defense EDGE - Mike Danna Former school: Central Michigan Danna was one of the bright spots for Michigan football in 2019 and he showed out as a reserve edge rusher. We strongly considered fellow one-year rental Eyabi Okie-Anoma, but ultimately went with Danna, who played so well he ended up being a draft pick by the dynastic Kansas City Chiefs. Alternate: Eyabi Okie-Anoma, Alabama DT - Cam Goode Former school: UCF Goode took a full year before he started to come on strong, but in 2023, even as an alternate, it was hard to take him off the field once he got into the rotation. He was a solid player, despite going undrafted in 2024. Alternate: Damon Payne, Alabama DT - Tré Williams Former school: Clemson Like we did a bit on offense, there's a bit of projection here with Williams, who has yet to play a down (outside of the spring game) for the Wolverines. But expectations are high for the transfer who very well could be a starter for the maize and blue this year. Alternate: Jordan Whittley, Oregon State EDGE - Josaiah Stewart Former school: Coastal Carolina One of the feel-good stories, Stewart was a very good player as a freshman with the Chanticleers, but would the undersized edge rusher see his game translate to the Big Ten? The answer ended up being a resounding yes, with big plays made in the 2023 Rose Bowl, in addition to what he did in his senior year. Alternate: None LB - Ernest Hausmann Former school: Nebraska A current player, Hausmann was solid as a reserve in 2023 before stepping into a starting role in 2024. Now expected to be a team captain in his senior year, he's one of the best linebackers in the Big Ten. Alternate: Troy Bowles, Georgia LB - Jaishawn Barham Former school: Maryland Another current player (Michigan didn't start getting transfer linebackers until quite recently), Barham has all of the talent in the world and certainly could find himself being called on day one of the 2026 NFL draft if all goes right. With freaky athleticism, he checks all the boxes, but he also took almost the entire 2024 season before he started playing within the confines of the defense. Alternate: Edward Warinner, MSU CB - Josh Wallace Former school: UMass Wallace was a late addition to the 2023 team, coming aboard in the summer. But he got the nod as a starter in Week 1 and though there was a bit of a learning curve, he eventually became a solid defensive back who was pivotal in the Wolverines national championship run. Alternate: Ricky Johnson, UNLV NB - Tevis Metcalf Former school: Arkansas Nickelback is a premium position for the Wolverines, which means they recruit the position well without much of a loss of talent. We're slotting second-year defensive back Tevis Metcalf in here due to his production in the spring game, though we haven't seen him play the position in real games yet. Alternate: None S - Wesley Walker Former school: Tennessee Walker started all season for the Vols but didn't quite replicate his performance in Knoxville while in Ann Arbor. However, he was OK as a reserve but had a big moment in the ReliaQuest Bowl, picking off Alabama QB Jalen Milroe to really help Michigan put its knee on the Crimson Tide's throat early in the game. Alternate: Jaden Mangham, MSU S - TJ Metcalf Former school: Arkansas Strongly expected to be a standout for the Wolverines this year, it's unclear if the 2025 transfer will be a starter at safety, a key reserve, or play nickel. Still, there has been a lot of talk about how good the former Razorback might be in Ann Arbor. Alternate: None CB - Aamir Hall Former school: Albany Like his transfer predecessor, Josh Wallace, it took some time for Hall to come around. Perhaps a bit longer than it did Wallace. But once he did, he was solid, making huge plays in the Ohio State game and the ReliaQuest Bowl. Michigan certainly wishes it had another year with Hall in the defensive backfield. Alternate: None Special teams K - Dominic Zvada Former school: Arkansas State It didn't seem likely that anyone would come in and make Michigan football fans forget about Jake Moody, the Wolverines' most prolific kicker, yet Zvada appears to have done just that. A standout in 2024, he should be a likely candidate to win the Lou Groza Award in 2025. Alternate: None P - Hudson Hollenbeck Former school: Mississippi State We're going with Hollenbeck here, not only because there haven't been a lot of incoming transfer punters, but also because he's played in games (the ReliaQuest Bowl) whereas incoming transfer, Luke Bauer, has yet to earnestly put on a winged helmet. Alternate: Luke Bauer, Missouri

Pair of Nittany Lions make 2026 College Football Hall of Fame ballot
Pair of Nittany Lions make 2026 College Football Hall of Fame ballot A pair of Penn State stars could soon be enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame. Defensive end Courtney Brown and running back Ki-Jana Carter were among 79 players nominated by the NFF College Football Hall of Fame on the 2026 ballot, which was released Monday. Both players are expected to be approved after standout careers in Happy Valley. Brown, who played at Penn State from 1996-99, was viewed as one of the top players in college football during his senior season. He was named a unanimous All-American and the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year en route to the No. 1 overall draft selection in 2000. He finished with 33 career sacks, setting the NCAA record at the time, which still ranks best in Penn State program history. Brown's 13.5 sacks in his senior year rank fourth among Nittany Lions all time. Carter was also a No. 1 overall pick, selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in 1995. He was a Nittany Lion from 1992-94, earning unanimous All-American honors as a junior when the Nittany Lions posted an undefeated season. He was named the Rose Bowl MVP to cap off his college career. Carter's 1994 season includes the third-most rushing yards and second-most rushing touchdowns in program history, and he currently has the fourth-most career rushing touchdowns of any Nittany Lion.
