Big Ten’s New Toys: Davis and Hiter Take the Field
With July looming, CBS Sports unveiled its 2026 Big Ten freshmen to watch, and Michigan snagged two standouts. Titan Davis, a four-star defensive lineman from St. Louis, brings size, athleticism, and high football IQ to replenish a defensive front that lost key contributors. Expected to earn early rotational snaps behind Trey Pierce and Enow Etta, Davis could prove the versatile interior force Michigan craves. On offense, five-star running back Savion Hiter arrives as the nation’s second-highest-rated ball carrier. At 6-foot and 210 pounds, his bruising runs and rare pass-pro instincts set him up to complement Jordan Marshall in a lethal backfield duo.
Finally! Two freshmen everyone agrees are going to fix whatever ails Michigan football—because clearly the only thing holding back a national championship was a lack of freshmen hype. Titan Davis will bulldoze offensive lines so effectively he might accidentally unblock Michigan’s defense, while Savion Hiter will run so hard that he’ll leave zone-read quarterbacks vomiting pixels. Fans can’t wait to see these highly rated prospects cure all spring practice woes and resurrect dead drives with the sheer force of their five-star metabolisms. Grab your popcorn—because the real sport in Ann Arbor this fall will be freshman worship.
