Michigan football predicted to land 4-star DT Titan Davis to 2026 defensive line

Michigan football has a bit of a different identity from most other schools in college football. While many try to build high-flying offenses with defenses that simply can stave off the opponent, the Wolverines are all about the trenches on both sides of the ball.

On defense, the maize and blue already have an interior defensive lineman (Alister Vallejo) and two edge rushers (McHale Blade and Tariq Boney) committed, but they're looking to add more to the list. Is another coming soon?

2026 St. Louis (Mo.) DeSmet four-star defensive tackle Titan Davis officially visited Ann Arbor over the weekend. Thought to be deciding between Michigan and Alabama, it's been unclear which way Davis has been leaning. However, coming out of the visit, On3's Steve Wiltfong says that the Wolverines have all the momentum, and he predicted that Davis would wear a winged helmet.

Michigan now has an 85.4% chance to land Davis via the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

Davis' scouting report from 247Sports' Andrew Ivins:

Ascending defensive end with a prototypical frame that could fit into an odd or even front at the next level. Began his prep career playing quarterback before flipping to the other side of the ball and finding instant success in the trenches. Flashes the ability to separate and bypass base blocks with his lateral agility. Not the most destructive defender at this stage, but can find a flat back and shoot his hands to gain extension. Solid get-off frequently gives him an advantage in passing situations. Quick to unleash a bull-rush, but can also rip his way around the corner and has the stride length to finish. Enters senior year believed to be north of 6-foot-4, 265 pounds with adequate length in the arms. Must improve pad level and learn how to bring it every single snap, but appears to be rounding into form as he nearly doubled his production as a junior for Missouri’s 6A champs. Projects as a potential multi-year contributor and possible impact player for a College Football Playoff contender. Should offer plenty of alignment flex and could very well end up finding a home on the inside depending on how the body matures.

Davis is listed at 6-foot-4.5, 270 pounds and is rated the No. 101 player in the country according to the 247Sports Composite.

It's currently not known when Davis will make a final decision. The Wolverines are also after several other defensive linemen, including edge rushers Carter Meadows, Julian Walker, Jackson Ford, and Trenton Henderson.
