The Wolverines have officially secured 2026 four-star defensive tackle Titan Davis, as he signed with Michigan Football on Wednesday during the early signing period.

• Ranking (247 composite): No. 114 overall, No. 13 DL, No. 2 Missouri

It would save us time to name the teams not interested in Titan Davis than to reel off those making their pitches. Davis was deliberate from the start of his recruiting journey, taking unofficial visits to Penn State, Missouri, Michigan, Alabama and USC before eliminating the Tigers and naming Penn State, Michigan, Alabama, and USC as his finalists on May 24. Less than a week later, Davis took his official visit to Alabama, following that up with an official visit to Ann Arbor on June 20. Seeing everything he needed to see, Davis committed to the Wolverines three days later as a key piece in one of the most highly-touted defensive line classes in program history.

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.”

With the departures of several defensive tackles — Rayshaun Benny, Tre Williams, Damon Payne Jr. and Ike Iwunnah — Davis will make a push to see the field in a rotational capacity as a true freshman. The high IQ technician will need to help his body catch up to Big Ten standards, but he is more than prepared to make an immediate impact with his advanced eyes and skilled hands. Michigan will undoubtedly hit the portal for depth, but Davis will have more than enough opportunity to earn snaps.
