Peter Bourque, a four-star quarterback recruit from Massachusetts, has decommitted from the University of Michigan football program. Bourque, who was previously committed to the Wolverines, has now reopened his recruitment and is considering other schools such as Penn State, Missouri, Virginia Tech, and Georgia.

Why it matters

Bourque's decommitment is a significant loss for the Michigan football program, as he was one of their top recruits for the class of 2027. The change in coaching staff, with Sherrone Moore being fired and Kyle Whittingham being hired as the new head coach, likely played a role in Bourque's decision to back out of his original commitment.

The details

Bourque, who attends Tabor Academy in Marion, Massachusetts, was the No. 8 quarterback recruit in the class of 2027 according to ESPN. He initially committed to Michigan on August 11th, but has now decided to reopen his recruitment process and consider other schools such as Penn State, Missouri, Virginia Tech, and Georgia.

• Bourque committed to Michigan on August 11th.
• Sherrone Moore was fired as Michigan's coach in December 2025.
• Kyle Whittingham was hired as Michigan's new head coach later in December 2025.

What’s next

Bourque will now consider his options and decide on a new school to commit to for the class of 2027.
