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.

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.

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.
