Michigan battling Oregon for two elite prospects

With a class that already ranks within the top 10, Michigan still has some massive targets on the board for the 2026 recruiting cycle. In addition to five-star RB Savion Hiter, Michigan is also battling Oregon for two elite prospects who are currently uncommitted.

This week, Rivals listed 4-star CB Davon Benjamin and 4-star DL Deuce Geralds as two prospects who are currently deciding between the Wolverines and the Ducks.

Benjamin, who's rated as the No. 6 cornerback in the nation, has set a commitment date of August 6. Although he has a top five of Oregon, Michigan, Texas, Washington, and North Carolina, the belief is that the Wolverines and the Ducks are the two teams at the top.

Here's what Rivals national recruiting reporter Adam Gorney had to say:

"The Ducks have long been considered the frontrunner but after talking to him at a recent 7on7, he really likes the Wolverines a lot, too, and the Huskies are not out of this. Oregon is still probably the favorite but Michigan might have pulled pretty close."
