Five-star Dax Hill Flips Commitment Back to Michigan Days After Flipping to Bama

Five-star Oklahoma native Daxton Hill, one of OSU’s top targets in the 2019 recruiting class, flipped his commitment in a signing day shocker from Alabama back to Michigan — the program he originally committed to.

Hill had picked the Wolverines over Oklahoma State, Alabama, OU and a slew of others back in September, then had a change of heart when he de-committed and flipped on Dec. 8 to Alabama. His decision to flip from Alabama back to Michigan came when UM dropped a bombshell of a tweet that Hill sent his NLI to UM on Wednesday.

Hill is the younger brother of OSU running back Justice Hill and was the focus of OSU’s recruiting efforts for over a year. A 6-0.5, 186 pound safety, he’s ranked as the No. 8 player in the 2019 class and the top safety in the country.
