A Georgia Bulldogs decommitment is having second thoughts about his signed letter of intent. Class of 2026 four-star wide receiver Brady Marchese, who flipped from Georgia to the Michigan Wolverines, requested to be released from his letter of intent.
Some of that might have to do with Michigan’s new hire at head coach. Incumbent head coach Sherrone Moore was fired after a major off-the-field controversy, and the Wolverines hired former Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham, giving him a five-year contract to be the new Michigan head coach.

Still, it’s another odd turn in Marchese’s recruiting journey. He first committed to Georgia as early as March 2025, and even with an early push from Michigan, his stayed true to his Bulldogs commitment, shutting down his recruitment.
However, with the beginning of the early signing period on Dec. 4, 2025, Marchese flipped his commitment from Georgia to Michigan. He signed a contract with the Wolverines, but 22 days later, Marchese was released from his contract.
The 6-foot-1, 183 pound wide receiver plays high school football for Cartersville High School alongside Wake Forest three-star signee Langston Hogg, who plays offensive line. He also plays with 2027 four-star linebacker Cole Crawford, whom Georgia has been targeting. Marchese was the No. 20 receiver and No. 134 overall prospect in the class of 2026.
