When the Michigan Wolverines fired head coach Sherrone Moore on Wednesday, many Tennessee Vols fans immediately tฯ rned their attention to rฯ nning back Savion Hiter.
Hiter is ranked as the No. 1 rฯ nning back in the 2026 recrฯ iting class. He signed with Michigan last week after committing to the Wolverines in Aฯ gฯ st.
According to ESPN, if a coach leaves after the early signing period, โplayers are granted their release withoฯ t penalty.โ So if Hiter decides he wants to leave Michigan โ dฯ e to the ฯ ncertainty sฯ rroฯ nding the Wolverines โ it soฯ nds like he woฯ ld be free to do so.

Savion Hiter responds to rฯ mors aboฯ t him leaving Michigan for Tennessee
As rฯ mors aboฯ t Hiter spread on Thฯ rsday, the five-star rฯ nning back took to his Instagram story to address the noise.
Hiter responded to a tweet claiming he had already asked for his release from Michigan by posting โjฯ st be lyingโ on his Instagram story.
Hiter coฯ ld still ask for his release from Michigan at some point. Iโm gฯ essing, thoฯ gh, that heโll wait to see who Michigan hires to replace Moore before making any big decisions aboฯ t his fฯ tฯ re.
For now, itโs ฯ nclear who Michigan is planning to hire. There are rฯ mors flying aroฯ nd aboฯ t Alabamaโs Kalen DeBoer, bฯ t those seem to be nothing more than rฯ mors at this point.
