It’s one thing when it’s a high-level recruit committing to your school. The reaction is entirely different when it’s an elite quarterback.
Michigan football recruiting has been heating up the past few weeks and though it’s the 2025 class that’s on the clock, the first 2026 commitment hits hard.
The Wolverines got their quarterback of the future with the pledge of 2026 Cocoa (Fla.) four-star Brady Hart, a 6-foot-4, 180-pound pocket passer who bears a lot of similarities to J.J. McCarthy. Hart is rising up the ranks and has the potential to reach five-star status once his recruitment is said and done.
Naturally, there’s a lot of excitement with Hart having kicked off the 2026 class. From the coaches, players and recruits, to the media, to well-known fans, there were a lot of reactions on X (formerly Twitter) to the news of Hart’s pledge. Here are some of the best we could find.
