Recruitment Stories

Hitt, the Wolverines’ highest-rated running back in the modern recruiting era, seemed like a long shot before Tony Alford defected to Ann Arbor from Ohio State. However, the maize and blue lingered on his recruitment for a while, though most thought he would end up elsewhere early in the cycle. Ultimately, Michigan beat out heavyweights like Georgia and Ohio State to acquire Hitt, and he’s been a solid performer ever since.
