Michigan football added to its 2026 class on Monday night when four-star DL Titan Davis committed to the Wolverines over Alabama. It was a major win for head coach Sherrone Moore over Bama and Kalen DeBoer in the recruiting cycle. It happened after the Tide beat out the Wolverines for fellow lineman JJ Finch.

Davis is a 6-foot-4, 270-pound lineman out of St. Louis (MO) DeSmet. According to the Composite, Davis is the 101st-ranked player in the 2026 class and the No. 13 defensive lineman. On3's Steve Wiltfong predicted Davis to the Wolverines on Monday morning.

The Wolverines now have 13 commitments with Davis' commitment in the '26 class. Michigan also has three other defensive linemen currently committed: four-star Alister Vallejo, four-star McHale Blade, and three-star Tariq Boney.

Here is 247Sports' scouting report on Davis.

Ascending defensive end with a prototypical frame that could fit into an odd or even front at the next level. Began his prep career playing quarterback before flipping to the other side of the ball and finding instant success in the trenches. Flashes the ability to separate and bypass base blocks with his lateral agility. Not the most destructive defender at this stage, but can find a flat back and shoot his hands to gain extension. Solid get-off frequently gives him an advantage in passing situations. Quick to unleash a bull-rush, but can also rip his way around the corner and has the stride length to finish. Enters senior year believed to be north of 6-foot-4, 265 pounds with adequate length in the arms. Must improve pad level and learn how to bring it every single snap, but appears to be rounding into form as he nearly doubled his production as a junior for Missouri’s 6A champs. Projects as a potential multi-year contributor and possible impact player for a College Football Playoff contender. Should offer plenty of alignment flex and could very well end up finding a home on the inside depending on how the body matures.
