Kyle Whittingham is kicking off preparations for Michigan’s 2026 playoffs with a promising roster. Tyson Robinson is the No. 3-ranked running back in the nation, and teams like Tennessee, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Miami, Ohio State, Alabama, Michigan, and Texas are already eyeing him. While Alabama holds the highest chances of about 23.9% as per ON3’s prediction to land him, it looks like Michigan climbed to the top of Robinson’s list after he visited Ann Arbor.

I loved it.”
Robinson will also head back to them this week for another visit, making the news very alarming for Alabama. What adds to the pressure is that he is also planning to visit other schools during his OV. And the list is pretty long…
