Here’s why 2026 four-star RB Javian Osborne would fit perfectly in Chip Lindsey’s offense at Michigan

Now that the Michigan Wolverines are the odds-on favorites to land 2026 four-star running back Javian Osborne, let’s take a closer look at the highly-coveted prospect.

The 5-foot-10, 195-pounder from Forney, Texas has already produced some incredible high school tape. In his 2023 sophomore campaign, he exploded for 2,231 yards and 41 touchdowns on 290 carries. He followed that up with a 188-carry, 1,227-yard, 25-touchdown effort in 2024.

The top-100 overall player in the class has superstar potential. Let’s see how well he’d fit in Ann Arbor.
