The Michigan football team continues to pick up wins over Alabama as they beat out the Crimson Tide for four-star offensive lineman Bear McWhorter. Alabama seemed to be in the lead for the 2026 prospect that is named after legendary Crimson Tide head coach Bear Bryant. Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore and his staff did a great job closing the deal and stealing McWhorter away from Alabama.
“BREAKING: Class of 2026 IOL Bear McWhorter has Committed to Michigan, he tells me for @on3recruits,” Hayes Fawcett said in a post. “The 6’4 305 IOL from Kingston, GA chose the Wolverines over Alabama, Florida, & Clemson.
Michigan got the recruiting win over Alabama on Friday, and the Wolverines have also beaten the Crimson Tide in the postseason each of the last two years.
After committing, Bear McWhorter had a brief message for Michigan football fans:
“Kingston➡️Ann Arbor HO〽️E,” McWhorter said.
