Michigan suffers major recruiting setback as long time elite CB commit flips to Miami

In a move that is not a huge surprise, Michigan took a blow on the recruiting trail as one of its longest-tenured commits flipped loyalties. The Wolverines have been making national news as they have been on an absolute tear recruiting. You cannot avoid these pitfalls, though, and the Michigan staff was aware that their grip was loosening on the elite cornerback.

Brody Jennings is a composite four-star top 300 recruit from Jacksonville, FL. He initially committed to Michigan on July 28th, 2024. However, Miami has been pushing Jennings hard to flip his commitment from the Wolverines to the Canes. In the end, it looks like Miami got their guy. Home-state advantage played a role in this decision, and Miami has prioritized Jennings, making him feel like a critical part of their future. The Wolverine staff tried their hardest to keep him in the fold, but in the end, the Miami efforts overshadowed Michigan's.
