Zion Robinson, a four-star wide receiver out of Texas, announced his commitment to Michigan on Wednesday, giving the Wolverines another dynamic weapon in their rapidly growing 2026 recruiting class.
Ranked No. 160 overall in the country by the On3 Industry Ranking, Robinson is the No. 22 wide receiver nationally and the No. 24 prospect in Texas.
Standing between 6-foot-2 and 6-foot-4 and weighing around 180 pounds, Robinson pairs track-level speed with a wide catch radius and strong leaping ability. He consistently wins in contested situations by high-pointing the football.
Robinson chose the Wolverines over offers from Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M and Penn State. He took official visits to both Ann Arbor and College Station in June. Ultimately, Michigan’s consistent communication and long-standing relationship with him — led by Ron Bellamy and Sherrone Moore — proved to be the deciding factor.
On the field, Robinson is a true vertical threat who can stretch defenses with his top-end speed. He also brings value in the intermediate game. His ability to win contested catches and make plays across the middle makes him an ideal fit for the power spread offense Michigan is expected to run under Chip Lindsey.
Michigan continues to build an athletic and versatile wide receiver group, with an emphasis on both size and speed. Robinson fits that mold perfectly. Given his physical tools and experience competing against elite Texas talent, he projects as an early contributor who could help revitalize Michigan’s passing game.
He joins a 2026 Michigan recruiting class that already features several offensive playmakers, including four-star slot receiver Jaylen Pile, four-star tight end Matt Ludwig, and three-star tight end Mason Bonner.
