Savion Hiter to Open Season as Michigan's RB2
Michigan running back Savion Hiter will be the team's No. 2 running back behind Jordan Marshall, "barring anything unforeseen," according to Anthony Broome of The Wolverine. The true freshman was a five-star recruit and the No. 1 overall running back prospect in the 2026 class, per Rivals.com. "What stands out about Savion is he just works so hard all the time," offensive coordinator Jason Beck said. "There's no such thing as not full speed with that kid. And my experience is when you have freshmen like that that are that way, they have a chance to play early." The Virginia native averaged a whopping 13.9 yards per carry as a senior and "already has the body of a college veteran." Marshall, who rushed for 932 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, will handle lead-back duties, but Hiter could push to make this more of a committee backfield in 2026.
