Michigan football loses four-star DB commit Tavares Harrington
Four-star recruit Tavares Harrington flipped his commitment from Michigan to Mississippi at halftime of U-M's loss to Oregon, according to reports.
Michigan football suffered a setback on Saturday as their loss on the field extended to the field of recruiting. Tavares Harrington, a highly-rated defensive back from Chicago, Miguel's Mount Carmel High School, betrayed his commitment to Michigan, opting instead for Mississippi. This switch occurred during the game against Oregon, with the Wolverines facing defeat in the Pacific Northwest.
Harrington, who pledged to the Wolverines in May, was the third recruit in Michigan's 2027 defensive backfield, which also includes Monsanna Torbert Jr., Blake Jenkins, and Darius Johnson. Prior to Harrington's commitment to Mississippi, Ole Miss, Alabama, and Auburn were considered his final four options.
Despite losing Harrington, Michigan remains strong in the 2027 class, boasting 22 verbal commitments, placing them at No. 17 nationally. The team now has a formidable defensive backfield, with four-star recruits totaling up to five players.
