Auburn flips 4-star WR, former Michigan signee Brady Marchese
Auburn Tigers football head coach Alex Golesh speaks during a press conference at Woltosz Performance Center in Auburn, Ala. on Monday, Dec. 8, 2025. Auburn landed a commitment from 2026 four-star receiver Brady Marchese on Sunday, two days after he backed off his signing with Michigan.
Marchese became the third Michigan signee to request his release from his letter of intent on Friday, joining three-star interior offensive lineman Bear McWhorter, who also landed at Auburn, and four-star tight end Matt Ludwig, who signed with Texas Tech.
A 6-foot-1, 183-pound wideout out of Cartersville, Ga., Marchese previously flipped his pledge from Georgia to Michigan during the early signing period on Dec. 4. He ranks as the No. 134 overall prospect and No. 20 receiver in the 2026 class according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
Michigan's class falls to 11th in the 247Sports composite class rankings with Marchese's departure while Auburn's class ranking rises to 30th with his addition.
