Jacksonville (FL) Mandarin cornerback Brody Jennings de-committed from Michigan last week and flipped to Miami. He had been committed to the Wolverines since July 28, 2024.
Jennings is a 6'1", 175 lb. corner who's ranked as a 4-star, the #24 cornerback, and #277 overall in the 247 Composite list for 2026. In addition to Miami and Michigan, he had taken official visits to Auburn, Florida, and Florida State.
Unfortunately, Jennings's father Bradley Jennings died unexpectedly toward the end of May, which was a big reason why Brody decided to stay closer to home. His older brothers Bradley Jennings, Jr. and Branden Jennings both played college football. While Bradley Jennings, Sr. played linebacker at Florida State, his namesake played for Miami and Indiana, and Branden (who was once also committed to Michigan) ended up at Maryland, Kansas State, UCF, and Mississippi State.
Not to make light of the situation, but it's not often that two brothers were both committed to Michigan and de-committed. I guess the closest thing I can remember is Ben Van Sumeren, who played in Ann Arbor before transferring to Michigan State, and Alex Van Sumeren, who de-committed from the Wolverines after Ben decided to transfer.
On the same day Jennings flipped to Miami, Michigan landed Georgia cornerback Dorian Barney, who joined Virginia product Andre Clarke, Jr. in the defensive backfield for the Wolverines. Michigan is still pursuing several defensive backs to fill out the 2026 class.
Liberty Hill (TX) Liberty Hill defensive tackle Alister Vallejo committed to Michigan on June 10. He picked the Wolverines over offers from Kansas, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, and SMU, among others.
Vallejo is listed at 6'3" and 310 pounds. As a junior in 2024, he made 51 tackles, 9 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, 16 quarterback hurries, and 4 blocked kicks.
Chesapeake (VA) Oscar Smith wide receiver Travis Johnson committed to Michigan on Saturday. He picked the Wolverines over Georgia, Miami, North Carolina, Penn State, Texas A&M, and numerous others.
Johnson is listed at 6'3" and 185 pounds. As a junior in 2024, he caught 63 passes for 1,053 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Irmo (SC) Dutch Fork defensive end Julian Walker committed to Michigan on Tuesday afternoon. He picked the Wolverines over offers from Auburn, North Carolina, North Carolina State, and South Carolina, among others.
