Michigan has less than ten recruits in their 2026 class so far, and most of them are not in the high-four to five-star range as coach Sherrone Moore was worked to identify diamonds in the rough.
On Sunday, Michigan fans were filled in on the latest recruiting update from the nation's top Class of 2026 cornerback, Davon Benjamin, as the Corona (Oaks Christian High School), California prospect revealed what stood out about the Michigan Wolverines in comparison to his other visits so far.

"They're all about building you up on & off the field, & you can tell they've got a plan to help you succeed long term."
Benjamin is listed as a strong Oregon Ducks lean with a probability of over 94 percent to attend school in Eugene next fall.
The Ducks have offered along with fellow Big Ten powers USC and Ohio State, with the Miami Hurricanes currently bringing up the rear.
Michigan has become one of the top destination schools for defensive backs after the success of players including Will Johnson, Mike Sainristil and Rod Moore who led the team to three straight Big Ten titles and a national championship.
