Michigan lands a major recruiting flip for the 2027 class as four-star tight end Colt Lumpris commits to Michigan, leaving Alabama.

Lumpris had been committed to Alabama since December 2025 and is widely viewed as a high-upside, versatile tight end with multi-sport background and potential as an every-down piece.

Two major recruiting outlets predict Lumpris will flip to Michigan, reinforcing the Wolverines’ late surge in the 2027 cycle.

Miami assessed linebacker Donte Randle as a premier pure linebacker with versatility, praising his physical upside and downfield coverage ability, including a potential nickel role.

Cristobal’s staff continued persistent outreach and hosted on-campus visits, helping Randall feel connected to Miami and part of the Hurricanes family.

Randle cited deep family involvement and said coaches recruited his family as well, reinforcing his decision to choose Miami after visiting Coral Gables.

May saw eight commitments for Michigan, seven from the SC Next 300, signaling a rapid build-up of the class before official visits.

Johnson’s commitment is framed as part of Michigan’s broader May surge, boosting the program’s depth and perceived strength at cornerback.

Michigan’s class features offensive weapons and linemen, including Burrell, Tyson Robinson, Sidney Rouleau, and Jakari Lipsey, among other four-star prospects.

Michigan’s defensive staff, including DC Jay Hill and a corners coach, is actively engaging targets with ongoing visits planned.

The coverage notes a new era under head coach Kyle Whittingham and emphasizes strategic recruitment in Utah and nearby regions.

Randle’s commitment aligns with Miami’s 2027 class strategy, which includes multiple Top100 prospects and helps Miami rank No. 4 nationally in the composite rankings.
