Savion Hiter, a five-star prospect from Mineral, Va., committed to the Wolverines on Tuesday over Tennessee, Georgia and Ohio State.

The Tennessee Volunteers were hopeful to land their top target at the running back position, but they narrowly lost the recruiting battle to a tough recruiting program. The news surfaced on Tuesday, as Savion Hiter from the state of Virginia announced his commitment.

Tennessee football was a finalist for Savion Hiter, the No. 1 running back in the 2026 class. But the Vols couldn't get over the finish line.
