According to On3's EJ Holland, Michigan football will get a visit from the nation's top running back on June 13-15. There have been talks for a little while now that the Wolverines were getting a visit from Savion Hiter this summer and it appears that it will be a three-day stop.

The Mineral (VA) Louisa County would be a huge get for Sherrone Moore and Co. Not only is Hiter a five-star recruit, but he is considered the No. 17 overall recruit per the Composite and of course, the top-ranked running back in 2026.

In his junior season, Hiter showcased his versatility and athleticism by amassing 1,187 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns, averaging 7.91 yards per carry. He also contributed significantly on special teams with two kick return touchdowns.

Michigan has had recent success on the recruiting trail with running backs. Going back to the Jim Harbaugh era, the Wolverines landed guys like Zach Charbonnet, Blake Corum, Donovan Edwards, and Jordan Marshall, among other players. Even some of the lower ranked players like Hassan Haskins and De'Veon Smith turned out to be good ball carriers for the Wolverines. With how much Michigan likes to pound the rock, Ann Arbor is a dream destination for elite running backs.
