The Michigan Wolverines are set to host five-star cornerback Donte Wright, a 2027 Georgia Bulldogs commit, for an official visit on June 12-14. Wright, ranked as the No. 23 player and No. 3 cornerback in the country, has also scheduled official visits to UCLA, Georgia, Miami, Oregon, and Auburn as he explores his options beyond his current commitment to the Bulldogs.

Why it matters

Michigan is looking to bolster its defensive backfield for the 2027 season, as the team will lose experienced cornerbacks Zeke Berry and Jyaire Hill to graduation after the 2026 campaign. Landing a talent like Wright would be a major coup for the Wolverines as they aim to compete for a College Football Playoff spot.

The details

Wright, a 6'1", 170-pound prospect from Long Beach Poly High School in California, has been committed to Georgia since June 2026. However, he is now taking official visits to several top programs, including Michigan, as he reevaluates his options. According to recruiting analysts, Oregon is currently trending as the favorite to flip Wright from his Georgia commitment, but the Wolverines will have a chance to make their pitch during his upcoming visit.

  • Donte Wright will visit Michigan on June 12-14, 2026.
  • Wright has also scheduled official visits to UCLA (May 15-17), Georgia (May 29-31), Miami (June 5-7), Oregon (June 19-21), and Auburn (TBD).
  • Wright committed to Georgia on June 30, 2026.
