Michigan football adds commitment from linebacker Weston Port

Michigan Wolverines secured a verbal commitment from linebacker Weston Port on June 30, 2026. Port, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound player from San Juan Hills, California, originally committed to UCLA but opted to reopen his recruitment after serving a two-year LDS mission in Spain. Michigan quickly engaged with him, allowing Port to potentially enroll in January 2027 with five years of eligibility remaining. He is noted for his impressive high school defensive career, amassing 442 tackles, including 75 tackles for loss and 24.5 sacks. His commitment adds depth to Michigan’s defensive lineup, joining other top linebacker recruits.
