Brady Smigiel, a four-star quarterback in the Class of 2026, announced his commitment to Michigan on Saturday.
A three-year starter at Newbury Park (Calif.) High School, Smigiel had verbally committed to Florida State in June 2024 before decommitting in January following Florida State’s 2-10 season and subsequent coaching changes.
He had initially picked the Seminoles over finalist Michigan and more than 30 other programs. He visited Michigan again last Saturday and attended the team’s spring game.
Listed at 6-foot-5 and 205 pounds, Smigiel is ranked the No. 63 overall prospect in his class, No. 5 at his position and No. 10 in California, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
As a junior, Smigiel threw for 3,521 yards, 49 touchdowns and three interceptions. He ran for 11 TDs and more than 400 yards. Smigiel has a total of 147 TD passes and more than 11,000 passing yards in three seasons. He led Newbury Park to a CIF Southern Section Division 2 championship this past season and was named Division 2 offensive player of the year.
Michigan finished 8-5 last season for seventh place in the Big Ten in Sherrone Moore’s first season after Jim Harbaugh’s nine-year tenure. The Wolverines beat Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
