Michigan football picks up massive commitment from former Notre Dame signee

ANN ARBOR, MI — On Sunday afternoon, the Michigan Wolverines recevied some huge news on the 2023 recruiting trail. Former Notre Dame signee Brandyn Hillman, one of the most sought-after athletes in the 2023 recruiting class, has officially committed to Michigan football.

Four-star Brandyn Hillman commits to Michigan football

Recently, Brandyn Hillman requested that the University of Notre Dame release him from his national letter of intent for personal reasons. The Fighting Irish agreed, and just like that, one of the top players in the nation was back on the market. Not long after, it was made clear that Jim Harbaugh and his Michigan football caoching staff were in pursuit — it is no secret that the Wolverines did not haul in the best 2023 recruiting class, and adding a talent like Hillman is a massive addition.

On Saturday, Hillman was one of many major recruits visiting in Ann Arbor, and less than 24-hours after, his commitment to Michigan football has been locked in. Brandyn Hillman is one of the biggest additions that Michigan has picked up in a while — he is rated as a four-star recruit by On3, and ranks as the No. 137 player in the 2023 class, the No. 5 athlete in his class, and the No. 4 player in the state of Virginia.

Hillman stands at 6-1 and weighs in at 190-pounds; he is a product of Churchland High School in Virginia.
