A high school star is decommitting from Michigan football.
Peter Bourque, the No. 8 quarterback recruit in the class of 2027, has decommitted from Michigan and re-opened his recruitment.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel was the first to report the decommittment.

CHANGING FACES: Michigan football shakes up recruiting and personnel department
The Wolverines initially landed Bourque, a four-star recruit from Tabor Academy in Marion, Massachusetts, on Aug. 11. However, the 2025 season didn’t go exactly as planned for the Wolverines, with coach Sherrone Moore fired in December for alleged misconduct and the university hiring new coach Kyle Whittingham later in the month.
Since Bourque was initially recruited by Moore, his decommitment may not be all that surprising. Bourque received interest from Penn State, Missouri, Virginia Tech and Georgia during his recruitment process.
Per 247 Sports, Michigan now has three commitments for the class of 2027: edge rusher Recarder Kitchen from Muskegon, interior lineman Louis Esposito from Saline (the son of former U-M DL coach Lou Esposito, who left Ann Arbor last week for the same job with the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens) and interior lineman Tristan Dare from Southlake Carrol in Texas.
