Thompson, a top-ranked defensive back in the 2025 class, had been a solid Georgia pledge for months, and many believed his recruitment was all but closed. However, a late official visit to Michigan and a strong push from head coach Sherrone Moore changed everything.<\/p>\n<p>Sources close to Thompson say the Wolverines\u2019 player development, academic strength, and recent College Football Playoff appearances played major roles in his decision. \u201cIt just felt like home,\u201d Thompson said in a statement. \u201cCoach Moore and the staff have a vision that I want to be part of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The flip is a major win for Michigan\u2019s 2025 recruiting class and a tough blow to Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs, who rarely lose in-state blue-chip talent. It also underscores the shifting recruiting dynamics in college football, where NIL opportunities, coaching relationships, and long-term development increasingly sway elite prospects. With this commitment, Michigan sends a clear message: they&#8217;re ready to compete at the highest level\u2014on and off the field.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px;
