No. 1 ranked football recruit choosing Michigan over Tennessee, BYU, and Alabama. Here’s what’s real:
ESPN’s recent 2026 recruiting rankings list LSU as landing the Nation’s No. 1 overall prospect for the defensive line named Lamar Brown . No mention of Michigan edging out that top recruit.
A quick check of Facebook and other unverified sites shows no reputable outlet linking the No. 1 recruit specifically to Michigan over those programs .
Michigan recently secured high-end recruits, including:
Bryce Underwood — consensus No. 1 overall in the Class of 2025 — who flipped from LSU to Michigan, with big NIL backing .
A haul of five-star offensive tackles (like Andrew Babalola and Ty Haywood) .
Other top talents like Jordan Marshall (Sure‑fire RB), but no current No. 1 recruit in the class of 2026 .
