Fresh off of a reported visit to Ann Arbor visit on Thursday, one elite defensive back has decided to whittle down his list of suitors.
Michigan football has been aggressively pursuing multiple prospects in the southern United States, having thus far received three commitments in 2026, with all three pledges hailing from the South. With one from Florida, one from Georgia, and another from Texas, the Wolverines are looking to make an impact in fertile recruiting soil.
One such prospect is 2026 Carrolton (Ga.) four-star cornerback Dorian Barney, who was supposedly among the visitors to Schembechler Hall on Thursday. On Friday, On3 reported that the maize and blue made the cut for Barney, along with Penn State, Colorado, Texas A&M, North Carolina, and Georgia Tech.

Barney is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 111 player in the country, regardless of position. Last cycle, the Wolverines got two four-star cornerbacks in the fold in Georgia flip Shamari Earls and Texas native Jayden Sanders. Currently, the maize and blue have one corner committed in Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin four-star Brody Jennings, but he's being aggressively pursued by many other schools in the region.
