Top 100 RB Savion Hiter ready to get back to Michigan for BBQ at The Big House

Michigan has made Top 100 Woodberry Forest (Va.) Scchool running back Savion Hiter one of its top overall priorities for next cycle.

Hiter made his first-ever visit to Michigan in the spring and is now set to return to Ann Arbor for the annual BBQ at The Big House later this month.

“I’m planning to get back there for the BBQ,” Hiter said. “I’m looking forward to be being back out there. I just want to get around the coaches and everything again. I feel like I saw a lot the first time I was there. It was a great visit.”

New Michigan running backs coach Tony Alford recruited Hiter as an underclassman during his time at Ohio State and has a strong relationship with him and his family.

Alford has continued to build a bond with Hiter now that he’s sporting the Maize and Blue.

“We have a great relationship,” Hiter said. “I’ve known him since he was at Ohio State, and our bond has kept getting stronger now that he is at Michigan. I like how he is straightforward and doesn’t sugarcoat anything. He’s always been very honest with me.”

Hiter was impressed with the way Michigan ran the ball last season and sees himself as a great fit in the offense.

“I really liked how Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards were a dynamic duo,” Hiter said. “It was great seeing them have a lot of success when they won the national championship. I like that Michigan is a run-first team. I think the offense fits me and what can do.”

So where does Michigan stand early on in his recruitment?

“They are very high on my list right now,” Hiter said. “They’ve always been a great program. They are a run-first football team. I like how everything there is organized and how they have a great culture. I like all the players that they are putting out.”

Hiter has no set decision timeline and plans to take a measured approach to the recruiting process.

Along with Michigan, Hiter holds offers from Alabama, Georgia, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and others.

At 5-foot-11, 190 pounds, Hiter is ranked as the No. 2 running back and No. 31 overall recruit in the country, per the On3 Industry Ranking. He is also ranked as the No. 1 recruit in the state of Virginia for next cycle.
