Michigan’s UTEP Victory Doubles as Recruiting Showcase for Top 2028 Targets
Michigan football’s 52-17 victory over UTEP on September 19, 2026, served as a critical recruiting showcase, hosting several high-profile 2028 prospects. Top targets, including four-star quarterback Carter Zingelmann and linebackers Skylar Alston and Jet Thomas, visited the Big House and praised the atmosphere and coaching staff. While the game featured a strong performance by sophomore quarterback Bryce Underwood, the primary focus for recruits was the program's culture and the opportunity to observe both Underwood and freshman Tommy Carr.
