New Michigan secondary coach LaMar Morgan is going after some of the nation’s elite defensive backs in the 2026 recruiting class.
Morgan recently dipped down into the state of Alabama and put an offer on the table for Top 100 Gadsden (Ala.) City cornerback Zyan Gibson.
“I was happy to get that offer,” Gibson said. “It meant a lot. I’m looking more into them and want to learn about them. I know they are a great program, and they’ve been winning. It was a blessing to get that offer.”
Gibson is just starting to develop a relationship with Morgan, but the two had a positive first conversation.
“He seemed like a nice, chill guy,” Gibson said. “I enjoyed talking to him. He said he watched my film and that he wanted to give me an offer. It was a good conversation. We just have to keep talking.”
Gibson added that he was impressed with Michigan’s run to the national championship last season and the way the defense played throughout the year.
“They have a great defense,” Gibson said. “I was very impressed with the defense. I was also impressed that they beat Alabama. That was a great win. It shows what type of program they have.”
