College football is just about to kick off a new season, but many programs are already looking ahead to the future. That’s the case for the Michigan Wolverines, who, under head coach Sherrone Moore, have secured a commitment from Savion Hiter.

One of the most promising running backs turned down a long list of offers before ultimately choosing to commit to Ann Arbor. The Wolverines’ offense is beginning to take shape — and it’s shaping up to be a force to be reckoned with.

Once the player’s decision was confirmed, the program itself announced the news on social media. Hiter, through his official X account (formerly Twitter), shared a brief message expressing his excitement about the commitment.

“I’M HOME,” the 5-star recruit stated via @5starsavi. Even with plenty of time to plan what’s next, Sherrone Moore knows he has a ton of untapped potential to unleash.

Michigan above the rest

After an intense recruitment battle, five-star running back Savion Hiter has officially committed to the Michigan Wolverines, spurning offers from perennial powerhouses like Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State. His decision is a significant win for head coach Sherrone Moore and his staff, securing a dynamic talent who many project to be a cornerstone of the team’s future offense.

Hiter’s commitment to Michigan, despite the relentless pursuit from some of the nation’s elite programs, signals the program’s continued strength in recruiting and its ability to attract top-tier prospects from across the country.

The reasons behind Hiter’s decision

Savion Hiter made the important decision to commit to the Wolverines program, driven by a specific reason that ultimately brought him to Ann Arbor. In a recent conversation with The Athletic, the running back praised the program’s running game. “They run the ball a lot,” he said.
