Michigan State football nearing decision from top 2026 wide receiver from Illinois Michigan State football has been hot on the recruiting trail, and that could continue in the 2026 recruiting class.

Now, according to an Instagram post from Washington's father, the wide receiver is set to make his decision between three schools. Michigan State is battling West Virginia and Wisconsin for the commitment of the 6-foot-2, 185 pound 3-star receiver, playing his high school ball at St. Francis High School.

UNC basketball program offers four-star small forward A 2026 small forward has earned an offer from North Carolina Hubert Davis and the North Carolina Tar Heels have a new target on their 2026 basketball recruiting board.

On Sunday, North Carolina offered the four-star recruit out of Maryland. Samuels is the latest player to earn an offer from North Carolina and they have been interested in the recruit for a bit now. UNC's interest and Samuels' recent play at the NBPA Top 100 Camp was a perfect storm for an offer to come this weekend ahead of the Summer months.

Michigan football earns recruiting predictions for 4-stars Travis Johnson and Andre Clarke
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. 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). Advertisement 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. Chesapeake (Va.) Oscar Smith four-star wide receiver Travis Johnson 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. 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. Advertisement 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. Richmond (Va.) Heritage four-star CB Andre Clarke Johnson isn't the only visitor this weekend from the DMV that Michigan football made a move with. 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. Advertisement 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. Clarke has visited Ann Arbor four times -- more than any other school by double. This article originally appeared on Wolverines Wire: Michigan football gets predictions for two 2026 stars
