Recruiting can provide drama and, sometimes, fireworks, as Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh promised this week on his podcast.
Daxton Hill’s recruitment provided both.
Once a Michigan commitment, Hill recently flipped to Alabama. But the five-star safety from Oklahoma is now officially a Wolverine, having signed his letter of intent Wednesday, the first day of the signing period.
Hill is the top-ranked player in Michigan’s class. As of Wednesday morning, Michigan’s class is ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten and No. 7 nationally by 247Sports Composite.
The 6-foot, 186-pound Hill was the Gatorade Player of the Year in Oklahoma in 2018-2019.
