Michigan four-star LB recruit Branden Jennings flips to another Big Ten school on early signing day

Michigan’s football program lost one of its top defensive commits in its 2021 class on Wednesday.
Jacksonville (Fla.) Sandalwood four-star linebacker Branden Jennings flipped his commitment from Michigan to Maryland and signed with Terrapins. Jennings, ranked as the No. 109 overall prospect nationally, per 247Sports’ Composite rankings, was the newest Wolverines pledge after committing in October just days after he decommitted from Florida State.
But the 6-foot, 3 ½-inch, 225-pounder reportedly had concerns about Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh’s contract situation. He said on his Instagram live video that he changed his mind “about a week ago” and called Maryland “the best place and fit for me.”
