Michigan football got two commitments within the span of 15 minutes, but the big fish that the Wolverines landed came on the latter end of the two.
2026 Honolulu (Hawaii) Kamehameha four-star offensive tackle Malakai Lee has been one of the maize and blue’s top targets, regardless of position, for quite some time, and on Friday, Michigan prevailed over Alabama, Texas, and Georgia to land the elite lineman.
Even on a Friday night, when people have other plans, that didn’t stop media, Michigan coaches and staffers, as well as commitments from celebrating on X (formerly Twitter) when the news broke that Lee is now a Wolverine.
Here are our favorite reactions.
