On3’s Steve Wiltfong, who has correctly predicted many of Michigan’s recent commitments, just changed his prediction that Irma (S.C.) Dutch Fork four-star edge rusher Julian Walker would end up committing to South Carolina to the Wolverines.

According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, the 6-foot-1, 175-pounder is the No. 177 overall player and No. 16 safety in the country, although Michigan is recruiting him as a cornerback. He took official visits to Michigan and Kentucky this month before making his decision.

Michigan football has added another four-star defender to its 2026 recruiting class. Defensive back Andre Clarke Jr., who plays for Hermitage High in Virginia, announced his commitment in a social media post Monday. He took an official visit to Michigan on June 13 and picked the Wolverines over Kentucky and SMU.
