Richmond (Va.) Hermitage four-star defensive back Andre Clarke has requested and been given his release from signing with Michigan, according to Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett.
Clarke committed to the Wolverines in June over the likes of Kentucky, SMU and Tennessee. He signed with the Wolverines during the Early Signing Period last month, but circumstances changed when head coach Sherrone Moore was fired a week later after an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.

“It’s crazy hearing about the news, but time will tell on what I’ll be doing,” Clarke said at the time of Moore’s firing. “Because Coach Moore and his staff were a huge reason for my commitment.”
The 6-foot, 165-pounder is No. 229 overall prospect in the 2026 class, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, an equally weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting services.
He also ranks as the nation’s No. 23 safety and No. 5 recruit in Virginia.
