Brady Hart Decommits From Michigan

TLDR: Michigan football faces another setback as four-star quarterback Brady Hart withdraws his commitment to the Wolverines to join Texas A&M. Hart, initially part of the 2026 class at Cocoa Beach High School in Florida, has also reclassified to the 2025 class, aligning his future with the Aggies. Hart’s decision comes amidst Michigan’s strategic pivot towards securing Bryce Underwood, the nation’s top five-star quarterback. Securing Underwood involved efforts from prominent Michigan alumni and other influential figures. Amidst these changes, Michigan’s recruiting landscape has been shifting, affecting previous commitments, including Hart and fellow 2025 quarterback Carter Smith. Despite these setbacks, Michigan’s coaching staff, led by offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell, remains optimistic about the team’s future. They aim to acclimate new talents into their system and could potentially bring experienced transfers to fortify their QB lineup for upcoming seasons.


Michigan football seems to be experiencing turbulence on the recruiting front as yet another high school quarterback has pulled back from committing to the Wolverines. Brady Hart, a highly-rated prospect from Cocoa Beach High School in Florida, announced on Friday that he has decided to rescind his commitment to the University of Michigan. In an unexpected move, Hart has reclassified from the class of 2026 to the class of 2025 and has chosen to align himself with Texas A&M, adding a new chapter to his promising career.

Hart stands tall at 6-foot-5, weighing 190 pounds, and had previously been ranked as the No. 6 quarterback and the No. 17 player in Florida among the 2026 class. Hart’s decision adds another ripple in Michigan’s recruiting scenario, where the Wolverines recently flipped the No. 1 player from LSU, five-star Belleville quarterback Bryce Underwood. This has had cascading effects on the commitments lined up for Michigan, with Hart and another quarterback, Carter Smith, from the class of 2025, both deciding to look elsewhere.

The Wolverines’ recent focus on securing Underwood involved significant efforts, even drawing on contributions from notable alumni. Dave Portnoy, a Michigan alum and notable figure in the sports media world, reportedly teamed up with Oracle owner Larry Ellison, whose wife is an ardent Michigan supporter. Their combined clout, alongside encouragement from Tom Brady and Michigan’s longstanding football tradition, contributed to luring the talented Underwood.

Kirk Campbell, Michigan’s offensive coordinator, expressed optimism about the program’s progression despite these recent recruitments shifts. He highlighted the development and knowledge of new and existing recruits during a recent radio appearance. Campbell emphasized their plans to hone emerging talents and potentially integrate experienced transfers who might provide depth and leadership to the quarterback position in upcoming seasons.

Hart’s time in high school has been marked by impressive performance metrics. In leading his team to a state championship during his sophomore year, he completed over 70% of his passes, accumulating 3,293 yards, along with 32 touchdowns and just eight interceptions. As Michigan continues to recalibrate its recruitment approach, the team’s coaching staff remains focused on fostering a competitive and skilled lineup, ensuring they maintain high standards in upcoming campaigns.
