Four-Star WR Decommits from Michigan Football, Chooses ACC School
Mansfield, Texas native and four-star wide receiver Zion Robinson has officially decommitted from Michigan Football and committed to Stanford. His decision took place on national signing day, marking a significant change in his recruitment trajectory.
Zion Robinson’s Recruitment Journey
Robinson, who is ranked as the No. 182 prospect nationally by the 247Sports Composite, had initially pledged to Michigan in June. However, he announced on Instagram that he was postponing his signing until further notice just a day before the signing day.
Stanford played a crucial role in persuading Robinson to flip his commitment. The Cardinal’s efforts behind the scenes ultimately led to this unexpected decision.
Season Highlights
- High School: Mansfield, Texas
- Position: Wide Receiver
- Height: 6-foot-3
- Senior Season Stats: 47 catches for 823 yards and 11 touchdowns in 10 games
Robinson’s impressive attributes have garnered attention. According to scouting analyst Gabe Brooks from 247Sports, he possesses “frame and explosion” that enhance his contested-catch abilities. His agility allows for effective run-after-catch maneuvers, making him a valuable asset on the field.
Michigan’s Current Recruitment Landscape
As Robinson departs, the Wolverines continue to focus on strengthening their receiving corps. They have secured commitments from several other recruits. Notably, Travis Johnson, a Chesapeake, Virginia native and another four-star receiver, signed with Michigan despite aggressive pursuit from Virginia Tech.
Additionally, Michigan welcomed three-star receiver Jaylen Pile from Dallas Parish Episcopal School into their 2026 recruiting class. The program is currently awaiting a decision from another key recruit, Julian Walker, a four-star edge player from Irmo, South Carolina. Walker is expected to announce his final choice shortly.
Michigan’s Class Overview
The Wolverines’ 2026 recruiting class consists of 27 recruits, situated at 11th in national rankings. As the team aims to secure more talent, the focus remains on enhancing their roster in preparation for the upcoming season.
