Consensus four-star recruit Peter Borque—one of the top quarterback recruits in the 2027 class—decommitted from Michigan on Tuesday, and the school appears to already have their eyes set on a potential replacement.
According to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel and Eli Lederman, the 6' 4", 220-pound Marion, Mass. native reopened his recruitment after initially committing to former coach Sherrone Moore. The new staff, led by new coach Kyle Whittingham, has been in contact with Illinois quarterback commit Kamden Lopati, who was previously a target of Whittingham’s Utah staff. Lopati is a consensus four-star in his own right and on paper would be a suitable replacement at quarterback in the 2027 class if the Wolverines are able to flip him from their Big Ten rival.
As for Borque, he has already heard from Penn State, Virginia Tech and Washington since decommitting from Michigan. Georgia, Florida and North Carolina are all also expected to connect with the four-star and gauge his interest in joining their respective programs, per ESPN.
It will be a busy spring recruiting season for Borque, who will certainly have no shortage of options as he picks his next school.
