Nobody has it better than Michigan on Wednesday morning.

A little over a week after 5-star safety Daxton Hill decommitted from Michigan and gave his verbal pledge to Alabama, the Oklahoma native has flipped back to the Wolverines. He’s the first 5-star prospect to sign in Jim Harbaugh’s 2019 class.

Hill officially sent in his National Letter of Intent on Wednesday.

Hill is ranked as the No. 8  overall player in the class, according to 247Sports. He’s also tabbed as the No. 1 player from Oklahoma and the top safety in the class.

Michigan owned the B1G’s top recruiting class entering the Early Signing Period, ranking eighth nationally as well. The return of Hill could be a boost in the rankings, but is most certainly a huge addition to the Wolverines’ class, regardless of rankings.
