Top 100 2026 Ohio LB Cincere Johnson talks Michigan, summer visit, more

Michigan welcomed one of the top linebackers in the 2026 recruiting on campus in June for a camp.

Top 100 Cleveland (Ohio) Glenville star Cincere Johnson returned for his second-ever appearance and enjoyed connecting with the coaching staff.

“It was a great experience going up to Ann Arbor,” Johnson told The Wolverine . “Just working with the coaches, talking to the coaches, learning from the coaches, being with the players there, and they were teaching some stuff. So, that whole environment was good.”

The camp atmosphere gave Johnson plenty of insight to take back to his school.

“It was great getting coached (by) them,” Johnson said. “It was great just tweaking my game and giving me points, tips that I can use during the season. That was great. I loved it and enjoyed every second of it.”

Michigan linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary led drills in which Johnson took part.

“He’s a great coach,” Johnson said. “His love for the game was high. High energy. Just pushing you to be better and showing sportsmanship. One thing he did like (from me) was the little things, just seeing the little things, doing it right.”
