Michigan Moves Ahead for Top Cornerback Who Sees Himself as the Next Daxton Hill
Michigan has been putting in significant effort on the recruiting trail over the past few weeks, trying to regain some lost momentum and combat rumors about possible NCAA sanctions. The coaching staff has been hosting top recruits every weekend, pairing them with current commits and potential future leaders of the program to create a strong impression. Their efforts are starting to pay off, as national recruiting sites have now placed Michigan in the lead for several high-profile prospects.
One of these recruits is Donovan Webb, a highly sought-after cornerback from Texas. Webb, a four-star prospect and ranked 333rd nationally, has the ideal size at 6 feet tall, and possesses the speed to cover both slot receivers and bigger outside receivers. His high school highlights show him as a tenacious tackler, quick to assist in run support. After an “amazing” visit to Michigan, On3 now gives the Wolverines a 21.4% chance of landing him. Webb has compared his playing style to former Michigan star Daxton Hill, saying, “They believe my style is similar to Daxton Hill.”
Webb’s commitment would be a big boost to Michigan’s developing 2026 recruiting class. With momentum playing a vital role in class building, the Wolverines are hoping to carry this energy forward in the coming weeks. There’s confidence within the program that Michigan will close out the 2026 cycle with an elite class, which can later be enhanced with additions from the transfer portal. Coach Sherrone Moore and his staff are eager to see if Webb will be a part of this high-level recruiting class.
