Savion Hiter, a five-star running back from Louisa County High School in Virginia, has emerged as a pivotal target in the Michigan Wolverines’ 2026 recruiting efforts. Standing 5-foot-11 and weighing 190 pounds, Hiter is currently ranked as the nation’s top running back and the 19th overall recruit, according to the On3 Industry Ranking.
Hiter’s recruitment has been notably influenced by his relationship with Michigan’s running backs coach, Tony Alford. Their connection dates back to Alford’s tenure at Ohio State, and this rapport has continued since his move to Michigan. Hiter has made multiple visits to Ann Arbor, including attending the BBQ at The Big House and the game against Michigan State in October. An official visit is scheduled for June 13, 2025.
In addition to Michigan, Hiter has included Georgia, Ohio State, and Tennessee in his top four schools. Recent reports suggest that Michigan currently leads in his recruitment, with the Wolverines being favored to secure his commitment.
Hiter’s versatility on the field is a significant asset. He is known for his explosive speed, capable of making impactful plays both between the tackles and as a receiver.
His skills extend to pass protection, showcasing his all-purpose back potential. As Michigan continues to prioritize Hiter, his upcoming official visit will be crucial in solidifying the Wolverines’ position in his recruitment.
