Hart Recruitment

Michigan extended an offer to Hart earlier this offseason after his impressive performance at the Elite 11 regional in Orlando.

Hart quickly ascended up the quarterback board and became the priority for the Wolverines in the 2026 recruiting class.

Hart made his first visit to Michigan in June and enjoyed his time on campus as he bonded with new head coach Sherrone Moore and lead recruiter Kirk Campbell. The Wolverines were able to earn his commitment soon after he departed from Ann Arbor.

Hart returned to Michigan for the game against Minnesota in September and is excited for his second game day experience against Oregon this weekend.

Holland was the first to put in a prediction and had this to say about Hart as a prospect.

“When you look at the film, you see a big, athletic pocket passer,” Holland said. “He’s 6-foot-5, 185 pounds. He’s really filling out his frame nicely. He can throw the deep ball. He has a lot of zip on his passes. This is the best arm talent that Michigan has landed since JJ McCarthy. But when I say arm talent, Brady Hart has the arm strength, the ball placement and the accuracy… Hart comes from a baseball background as well. His father, Alex, played for the Pittsburgh Pirates. That upside is still there as he continues to develop and mature.”

An athletic pocket passer, Hart threw for 3,759 yards and 41 touchdowns en route to leading Cocoa to a Florida state championship as a sophomore.

Hart picked Michigan over offers from Clemson, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, Texas A&M and others.

At 6-foot-5, 185 pounds, Hart is ranked as the No. 8 quarterback and No. 92 overall prospect nationally, per the On3 Industry Ranking. He is also ranked as the No. 18 overall recruit in the state of Florida for next cycle.

Hart is one of three commits in Michigan’s 2026 recruiting class along with On300 Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin cornerback Brody Jennings and three-star Dallas (Texas) Parish Episcopal wide receiver Jaylen Pile.

Michigan currently has the No. 14 ranked 2026 recruiting class nationally, per the On3 Industry team recruiting rankings.
