QB Lopati Flips to Michigan After Illinois Decommitment
15 Apr
Summary
- Kamden Lopati, a top 2027 quarterback, committed to Michigan.
- He previously decommitted from Illinois after a strong junior season.
- Lopati is the highest-ranked commit for Michigan's coach since his arrival.
Four-star quarterback Kamden Lopati committed to Michigan on Tuesday, a day after decommitting from Illinois. Lopati, a 6-foot-3 passer from Salt Lake City, is currently the No. 2 quarterback prospect in the 2027 cycle. His recruitment surged after a standout junior season, throwing for 2,671 yards and 34 touchdowns.
Lopati's decision to join the Wolverines comes after recent visits to Michigan, Notre Dame, Cal, and Duke. He previously committed to Illinois in July 2025. His relationship with Michigan's coaching staff, particularly offensive coordinator Jason Beck, played a significant role in his decision. The coaching staff had previously pursued Lopati when at Utah.
He becomes the highest-ranked commit for Michigan's coach since the latter's arrival late last year. Lopati joins other top recruits like four-star offensive tackle Sidney Rouleau and defensive end Recarder Kitchen in Michigan's 2027 recruiting class.
