Michigan football recruiting is picking up in a big way as of late. Not only are the Wolverines working to flip 2025 Belleville (Mich.) five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood from LSU, but they flipped four-star cornerback Shamari Earls, and are hosting LSU commit Derek Meadows for the Oregon game.
One big development took place on Friday when 2025 Tampa (Fla.) Wiregrass Ranch four-star cornerback Graceson Littleton decommitted from Clemson. Shortly after, it was revealed that Littleton would be visiting Ann Arbor for the Week 10 tilt against the Ducks.
And before his visit got fully underway, The Michigan Insider’s Sam Webb and Steve Lorenz both put in 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions that Littleton would end up flipping to the maize and blue.
Here is how he ranks according to the recruiting services:
| * | Ovr. | Pos. | St. | |
| 247Sports Composite | 4 | 75 | 9 | 11 |
| On3 Industry Ranking | 4 | 99 | 12 | 15 |
| 247Sports | 4 | 72 | 10 | 11 |
| On3 | 4 | 97 | 12 | 15 |
| ESPN | 4 | 100 | 11 | 15 |
| Rivals | 4 | 163 | 16 | 32 |
The scouting report from 247Sports’ Andrew Ivins:
Ascending cornerback prospect with the ideal mix of size and speed. Put himself on the national radar spring before senior season, clocking a laser-timed 4.51 effort in the 40-yard dash at an Under Armour Next Camp outside of Orlando. Comfortable at this stage in press-man coverage as he fights for leverage and does his best to maintain phase while out on the perimeter. Not a ton of ball production to date (only had one interception as a junior), but is competitive when the football is in the air and will do his best to shade throwing lanes. Tries to get off blocks and will use his turbo to get across the field and make tackles in pursuit. Should be viewed as a potential multi-year starter at the Power Four level and a possible all-conference selection if he can keep progressing. Likely to find the most success in a defensive scheme that wants to man-up on the outside and get aggressive, but could also always get a look over the top with his range.
With a couple of defensive back targets still on the board — such as four-star safety Jordan Young and four-star DB Elijah Dotson from Belleville — it will be interesting to see how the secondary recruiting plays out from here to signing day.
