In recent weeks, coach Sherrone Moore and the Michigan Wolverines football team have been on a recruiting hot streak. The 2023 national champs have secured 14 commitments since June 1.
One of those commitments was from five-star EDGE Carter Meadows, who is ranked No. 6 player in the country by On3 and 36th overall in their industry composite rankings.
On Friday, Michigan earned another blue-chip commitment when four-star wide receiver Travis Johnson announced his pledge.
The 6-foot-4, 190-pound receiver from Chesapeake, Virginia, caught 21 passes for 490 yards and five touchdowns in five games played.
When discussing what it meant to join the Big Ten program, Johnson shared his enthusiasm.

“It’s amazing to be a Michigan man,” Johnson said. “Michigan was the best fit for me.”
Hailing from Oscar Smith High School, Johnson had more than 30 offers but chose Michigan over North Carolina, Penn State, South Carolina, Indiana and more.
“Coach Bellamy and coach Moore, we clicked from day one when they offered me," Johnson continued. "Then Chip Lindsey, the new offensive coordinator, I love the new system, and with Bryce Underwood being the new quarterback, I could see myself thrive there for sure.”
The Wolverines now boast the No. 9 class in On3's 2026 team rankings. Michigan has 21 commitments, 13 of which are four-star players.
“Just the culture for real and they won the (national championship) two years ago,” Johnson added. “I want to win one, too. I’m trying my best, I'm going to give my hardest every step of the way to try and get another one.”
