The Wolverines picked up a pair of commitments in the 2026 class, their first since Feb. 28. Newbury Park (Calif.) four-star quarterback Brady Smigiel was the first to announce his decision, and Washington D.C. St John’s three-star edge Tariq Boney followed shortly after.

Michigan football just had great success with a 6-foot-1 edge rusher, perhaps getting another, the Wolverines would see similar success? Josaiah Stewart was in Ann Arbor for two years and was drafted in the third round of the 2025 NFL draft by the Los Angeles Rams.
