Sherrone Moore teases big recruiting news for Michigan football.

Michigan football fans have been closely monitoring head coach Sherrone Moore’s social media, especially with all the subtle commitment hints he’s been dropping lately. On Thursday night, Moore added to the speculation by posting another eyeball emoji — along with a “Yes Sir!”

Previously, one eyeball emoji had been waiting to match up with a public commitment. With this latest post, there are now two potential commitments on deck for the Wolverines.

Here’s what all of this means for Michigan football fans:

There are three key recruiting decisions expected over the next two days — all with major implications for Michigan — and head coach Sherrone Moore’s cryptic social media activity is fueling the excitement.

1. Travis Johnson – July 5 (Friday)

• Position: 4-star wide receiver
• Vitals: 6’3″, 180 lbs, from Chesapeake, VA
• Rank: No. 144 overall (247Sports Composite)
• Decision Time: Friday afternoon
• Outlook: Michigan is the heavy favorite, according to all major recruiting services. Moore’s earlier “eyeball emoji” could have been teasing this commitment.

If Johnson does commit, he would be the second top-150 WR in the 2025 class for Michigan — an excellent sign for the Wolverines’ offensive future.

2. Dorian Barney – July 5 (Saturday)

• Position: 4-star cornerback
• Vitals: 6’1″, 180 lbs, from Georgia
• Rank: No. 148 overall (2026 class)
• Outlook: Penn State is a contender, but Michigan has the edge.
• Clue: Defensive backs coach Lamar Morgan reacted to Moore’s post, which strongly suggests this commitment is coming Michigan’s way.

Barney would be a big addition to Michigan’s 2026 secondary and could soften the blow if Brody Jennings flips to Miami, which is becoming a real possibility.

3. Calvin Russell – July 6 (Saturday night)

• Position: 5-star wide receiver
• Vitals: 6’5″, 195 lbs
• Decision: Between Michigan, Syracuse, Florida State, and Oregon
• Real Battle: Likely Michigan vs. Syracuse
• Outlook: Still undecided. Moore’s recent post likely wasn’t about Russell — but if he posts one more eyeball emoji, it could be a clue that Michigan won the battle.

Russell would be a massive addition and arguably the crown jewel of the class. If Moore goes quiet, fans should brace themselves for a tight race or potential letdown.

Bottom Line:

• Three major recruitments are wrapping up soon.
• Michigan is favored in at least two of them (Johnson and Barney).
• Moore’s eyeball emojis likely correlate with Johnson and Barney.
• Watch for one more emoji — that might signal Russell is choosing the Wolverines.

Yes, this weekend could be recruiting fireworks for Michigan football.
