Michigan football went one awful, long day without getting a commitment, but that national nightmare has officially come to a close with 2027 Riverside (Calif.) Notre Dame four-star cornerback Darius Johnson pledging to the class — the fifth commitment in six days.

As a result, the Wolverines are moving up the team rankings.

Now with 12 commitments in the class, Michigan has moved up two spots in the 247Sports Composite team rankings, having gone from 13th to 11th, leapfrogging Texas Tech. It still sits behind Oregon (10th), Ohio State, Penn State, Miami, UCLA, Florida, USC, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma (1st).

Rivals also has Michigan at 11th after being 12th in the previous ranking.

Here is the full class as it currently stands, using Rivals Industry Ranking:

  • Chicago (Ill.) Mount Carmel four-star WR Quentin Burrell (No. 85 overall)
  • Houston (Tx.) South four-star DL Xavier Muhammad (No. 102 overall)
  • Kalamazoo (Mich.) Loy Norrix four-star OT Jakari Lipsey (No. 104 overall)
  • Salt Lake City (Utah) West four-star QB Kamden Lopati (No. 119 overall)
  • Muskegon (Mich.) four-star EDGE Recarder Kitchen (No. 134 overall)
  • Jackson (Miss.) Brandon four-star RB Tyson Robinson (No. 212 overall)
  • Riverside (Calif.) Notre Dame four-star CB Darius Johnson (No. 311 overall)
  • Indianapolis (Ind.) four-star EDGE Jayce Brewer (No. 361 overall)
  • Gatineau (Quebec) Brook Hill three-star IOL Sidney Rouleau (No. 424 overall)
  • Saline (Mich.) three-star IOL Louis Esposito (No. 601 overall)
  • Orlando (Fla.) Lake Nona three-star S Charles Woodson Jr. (No. 617 overall)
  • Las Vegas (Nev.) Centennial three-star S Maxwell Miles (805 overall)

There's no obvious commits coming in the next few days, but the Wolverines are in good standing for 2027 Chicago (Ill.) Mount Carmel four-star safety Tavares Harrington, who makes his pledge to his school of choice on May 22.
