Head coach Kyle Whittingham and safeties coach Tyler Stockton are rolling on the recruiting trail, as the Michigan Wolverines got their second safety commitment in the 2027 class in as many days. On Tuesday, it was four-star Darrell Mattison, and now on Wednesday, it’s three-star safety Maxwell Miles.
The 6-foot-2, 195-pounder is originally from Arizona, but transferred to Centennial High School in Las Vegas ahead of his junior year. That paid off in a big way for him, as he had a monster season that resulted in 77 total tackles, six tackles for loss, 10 pass breakups, eight interceptions, one fumble return and a blocked kick in 2025.
Miles was offered by Michigan last weekend during an unofficial visit. He also held offers from Vanderbilt, Washington State, Minnesota, Boise State, Wake Forest and others before deciding on the Wolverines.
The athleticism jumps off the screen, as you’ll see in the next couple videos below. Miles recorded a long jump of 23’3.25 earlier this month, and he has some hops on the hardwood as well.
He could also probably play wide receiver, too, if needed.
Coming out of his visit, Miles had great things to say about the program and about his new position coach.
“Visit went great,” Miles told The Michigan Insider’s Brice Marich ($). “Getting to meet the staff was a big highlight, and I liked being able to see how everything operates in cold weather, too. We had a meeting with coach Stockton after I watched an amazing practice and then he blessed me with an offer! I was like let’s go!
“I think (Stockton) is an elite level coach and our relationship is growing. (They see me) at the safety and or nickel position. I’m versatile.”
Miles is now the fifth commitment for Michigan in the 2027 class, as he joins the aforementioned Mattison, four-star edge rusher Recarder Kitchen, and three-star offensive linemen Tristan Dare and Louis Esposito.
Miles is ranked No. 727 overall on the Rivals Industry Ranking. Check out his junior year highlights below.
