This just might be the perfect example of how a verbal commitment is not even remotely binding.
On Sept. 18 of this year, five-star 2019 prospect Daxton Hill announced that he had committed to playing his college football at Michigan. On Dec. 8 of this year, that same recruit announced that he had decommitted from Michigan and, on the same day, committed to playing his college football at Alabama.
As the second Early National Signing Period dawned earlier today, Hill decommitted from Alabama and signed his National Letter of Intent with... Michigan.
And, at least for now, there will be no additional flipflopping as Hill is officially signed, sealed and delivered to Ann Arbor.
Welcome to Michigan, ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ safety Daxton Hill! @daxhill5

Hill, the younger brother of Oklahoma State running back Justice Hill, is the top-rated safety in the Class of 2019 and, according to 247Sports.com‘s composite board, the No. 8 prospect overall.
