Gophers Steal Michigan Commit Miles Post-Visit

Summary
- Maxwell Miles de-committed from Michigan for Minnesota.
- Miles originally committed to Michigan in late March.
- Michigan's 2027 class ranking dropped after the de-commitment.
In a significant shift for the 2027 recruiting class, defensive back Maxwell Miles has de-committed from Michigan and committed to Minnesota. Miles, who had been a committed member of Michigan's class since late March, reportedly made a secret visit to Minnesota, leading to his change of heart.
Miles is a 6'2" safety and a consensus three-star prospect, ranked as the No. 619 player nationally by Rivals. He initially chose Michigan over offers from Minnesota and UNLV. His de-commitment impacts Michigan's recruiting class ranking, which now stands at No. 13 nationally according to 247Sports Composite.
Michigan still has three defensive backs committed, including four-stars Tavares Harrington and Darius Johnson, and three-star Charles Woodson Jr. The Wolverines are actively seeking to replace Miles and are targeting other defensive backs like three-star Errol Kerns and four-star Marcus Jones to bolster their secondary for the upcoming seasons, as several current defensive backs will be out of eligibility.
