Four-star quarterback Brady Hart joins Michigan Football in 2026

The future of Michigan football at the quarterback position looks very bright. The Wolverines signed four-star player Charlotte (NC) Providence Day’s Jadyn Davis In the 2024 recruiting cycle, four-star signalman Bishop Verot from Fort Myers (Florida) was added Carter Smith in the current 2025 cycle and have also confirmed their husband for the class of 2026.

On June 18, Michigan received a verbal commitment from four-star quarterback Cocoa (Fla.). Brady Harta top-100 prospect in Cycle 26. The 6-foot-4, 180-pound player chose the Wolverines despite offers from Clemson, Texas A&M, LSU, Florida State, North Carolina and several others. Hart’s commitment to UM came one day after he visited Ohio State and received a scholarship offer.

According to his recruiting profile on 247Sports, Hart completed 288 of 437 pass attempts (65.9%) while throwing for 3,759 yards with 41 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in his sophomore season of high school. In his first year as a starter, he led Cocoa to a 14-1 record and a Florida 2S state title. According to 247Sports’ composite rankings, Hart is considered the No. 91 overall prospect, No. 7 quarterback and No. 15 player from the state of Florida in the 2026 recruiting class.

Here’s what 247Sports scouting director Andrew Ivins had to say about Hart:

“Modern pocket passer with advantageous frame who led his team to a Florida 2S title as a first-year starter. More of a drive-ball shooter who can generate a lot of power by syncing his arm and stance. He has a somewhat lengthy release but can get the ball out quickly and will need to do that in a wide-open spread attack that looks to challenge horizontally with swing/screen passes. He first caught our eye in a matchup against nationally ranked St. Thomas Aquinas, where he put a number of 2-balls on tight lines and took advantage of coverage. His timing also impressed, as he frequently hit his markers on time. Can be a little inconsistent at times and isn’t one with a ton of deep shots on the spray chart, but looks like a potential Power Four starter entering his junior season, especially if he can continue to improve as a full-court reader.”

Highlights:

Michigan’s recruitment at the quarterback position has skyrocketed since former offensive analyst Kirk Campbell was promoted to QB coach ahead of the 2023 season. Campbell is responsible for the commitments of all three quarterbacks mentioned above. Hart is the Wolverines’ first and only verbal commitment so far in the 2026 cycle, but having the quarterback of the class already on board should benefit Michigan’s coaches as they recruit future talent.
