Morgan Park S Darrell Mattison

Chicago Morgan Park four-star safety Darrell Mattison has decommitted from Michigan, according to Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett.

He was pledged to the Wolverines for just over a month, but is now back on the board amidst a fervent push from Ole Miss. He was in Oxford visiting the Rebels earlier this month.

Mattison is the No. 340 overall prospect and No. 31 safety in the 2027 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 15 player in Illinois.

Earlier this month, OMSpirit’s Zach Berry reported that momentum was beginning to swing in favor of Ole Miss for Mattison. The blue-chipper has kept a quiet recruitment since his pledge to Michigan, but the Rebels have chipped away and are working to add him to the fold.

Ole Miss was in the mix for Mattison prior to his commitment to U-M last month. He was first offered by the SEC program in November and kept contact with Golding and Co. despite the departure of Lane Kiffin.

Mattison’s decision leaves Michigan with five commits in its 2027 class. Las Vegas Centennial three-star safety is now the lone defensive back committed to the Wolverines. The class ranks No. 25 nationally, according to the .
