“I learned a lot in the short time I was there,” Hiter said. He has a great relationship with running backs coach Tony Alford. “Literally everybody I came in contact with gave me an in depth talk about the school the culture, the team and their role there.”

The 5-foot-11, 199-pound Hiter knows the Michigan environment is one he could thrive in.

“It was crazy to see how organized everything is and how they hold everyone accountable,” Hiter said. “I had so many takeaways it’s hard to narrow it down to just a few.”

The On3 Industry ranks Hiter as the No. 1 prospect in Virginia and No. 26 prospect overall.

As a sophomore, Hiter rushed for 1,060 yards and 10 touchdowns. He added another 91 yards receiving and a score.

Hiter begins spring practice soon and he also wants to get out and see more schools.

“Trying to fit a few visits in between to Tennessee, Penn State, Syracuse and Virginia Tech,” Hiter said, adding he’s also trying to reschedule a return trip to Ohio State.
