2026 class 4-star recruit Zaden Krempin confirms taking Michigan visit during Week 4 blockbuster against USC
Four-star offensive tackle Zaden Krempin has begun his junior season at Prosper High School in Texas with great momentum. The prospect has also been making the rounds with multiple game-day visits to top college football programs.
Krempin's next major stop is the University of Michigan, where he will attend the showdown between No. 18 Michigan and No. 11 USC at the Big House. He confirmed the news on X, formerly Twitter, tagging Moore and offensive line coach Grant Newsome:
"Can’t wait to be back at The BIG HOUSE this weekend for the USC game. #GoBlue🔵 @Coach_SMoore @grant_newsome @EJHollandOn3 @UMichFootball @Coach_Hill2 @CoachSteamroll @ProsperEaglesFB."
The inaugural Big Ten matchup between these two historic programs could be crucial, with Michigan standing at 2-1 and USC at 2-0 following Week 3.
The Trojans hold a 6-4 all-time record against the Wolverines, but the programs have met just twice outside of bowl games. This will be their first clash in 18 years, their last meeting coming in the 2007 Rose Bowl after the 2006 season. This game will also mark USC’s first visit to Ann Arbor since 1958 and their first trip to the state of Michigan in 37 years. So, Krempin can witness a thrilling weekend of college football.
Last month, Krempin traveled to College Station to watch Texas A&M take on Notre Dame. He then visited TCU on Sept. 14, where the Horned Frogs faced UCF in a tight matchup, ultimately losing 35-34.
Can Michigan earn the commitment of Zaden Krempin?
For crystal-ball predictions regarding Krempin's commitment, the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine has SMU as the leader for his recruitment, followed by Oklahoma, Baylor and Texas A&M.
However, Krempin made a BBQ visit to Michigan's Big House in July, and his positive impressions from the summer visit suggest the Wolverines may be gaining ground.
"Hard to say what the highlight was just real happy we made the trip," Krempin told Michigan Rivals.
On3 also captured his excitement:
“I got there, and I was like ‘wow, I could see myself going here. Michigan is definitely one of the top schools on my list now," Krempin said.
Michigan has two committed players in the 2026 class: quarterback Brady Hart and cornerback Brody Jennings — both are Florida natives.
