Kyle Whittingham and the Michigan Wolverines are looking forward to their future talent in the 2027 class, landing a talented cornerback in Tavares Harrington.
Harrington announced his commitment to the Wolverines on Friday, per On3 insider Hayes Fawcett. Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, he chose the Wolverines over the Ole Miss Rebels, Auburn Tigers, and Alabama Crimson Tide.
Harrington stands out as a four-star prospect with a 90 score on 247Sports. He ranks 10th among players in the state of Illinois, 25th among cornerbacks, and 190th in the entire class. His composite score of 0.9448 puts him at seventh, 15th and 124th in those respective categories.
“Reactionary outside corner with the length that everyone covets these days. Can bump and run or play off-man in a Cover 2 look. Anticipates throws and drives to the catch point, usually arriving on schedule. Works to maintain leverage with his pedal and lateral quickness, but deep speed can present issues,” 247Sports’ Scouting Director Andrew Ivins wrote.
“Got much more involved as a run defender over the course of junior campaign and has showcased the ability to wrangle larger ball carriers down on the perimeter. Broke up 15 passes as a sophomore before coming down with three interceptions as a junior. Should be viewed as a taller zone cornerback with multi-year starter upside that could offer some safety flex given how he tackles and tracks the football.”
Harrington finished his junior season in 2025 with 50 tackles, nine pass breakups and three interceptions. In 2024, he also recorded 39 tackles, 15 pass breakups and one interception as a sophomore.
Kyle Whittingham looks forward to his time as Michigan’s head coach, spending the last 32 years at Utah. The Wolverines are coming off a 9-4 record in 2025, unable to make the cut for the College Football Playoff. They lost 41-27 to the Texas Longhorns in the Citrus Bowl to end the campaign.
