A vast majority of Michigan Football’s 2026 recruiting class signed on the dotted line yesterday to officially become Wolverines. From top to bottom, this is a class to be excited about, including the players that may not have received a ton of attention like Savion Hiter, Carter Meadows or some of the other highly regarded recruits.Here are three 2026 signees that we think will outperform their recruiting ranking when it’s all said and done.TE Mason BonnerBonner is one of the best players in his home state, Colorado, and the No. 496 overall player in the class is a matchup nightmare at 6-foot-6 and 200 pounds with his fluid strides.He can outperform his ranking because he will be asked to be a much more complete tight end for Michigan. The Wolverines have become a bit of an NFL pipeline for tight ends, and while that crowded room will make life difficult early on, he has the skills to earn snaps.This offense could also use a game-changer on the perimeter. Perhaps that comes from a wide receiver, or perhaps Bonner can be the big-bodied, downfield target Bryce Underwood needs to take that next step.IOL Bear McWhorterA versatile lineman, McWhorter (No. 514 overall) is best suited for guard at the college level. He stands 6-foot-3.5, is already close to 300 pounds, and flew a bit under the radar as a prospect, despite also being recruited by Alabama (he was named after Bear Bryant, after all).However — and while attaining three stars is no walk in the park — McWhorter feels like a player who will only get better at the college level. He plays mean, is quick enough to get downfield and support his runners, and has the athleticism to line up all over the place. He may not start for years to come, but he has Michigan Wolverine written all over him. Those guys tend to succeed.DL Alister VallejoThis may be a touch unfair to Vallejo, who is already highly regarded as a Top-200 overall player in his class and one of the better interior defensive linemen. At 6-foot-3, 310 pounds, he already has the size and strength to disrupt rushing lanes and combat interior offensive linemen.The Wolverines seemingly always have a limitless pool of defensive tackles and edge rushers to incorporate. Vallejo should have opportunities to see the field, albeit likely in a limited fashion. He is also not some flat-footed stiff that solely relies on his size — he is pretty athletic for a 300-pounder and can make plays on the outside, not just up the middle.Vallejo outperforming his ranking would indicate superstar status, and there are few reasons to bet against him developing into a fine defensive player for Michigan.
