Sherrone Moore's Michigan appeared to tease Big Ten rival Ohio State during its game against Texas on Saturday afternoon. The Wolverines offered to recruit 2027 prospect Myson Johnson-Cook, who visited Ryan Day and Ohio State to watch the Buckeyes play against the top-ranked Texas at Ohio Stadium.

In a video that has gone viral on social media, Johnson-Cook was seen talking on his phone while at Ohio Stadium. Johnson-Cook later confirmed that he was speaking to Michigan running backs coach Tony Alford, who left Ohio State to join the staff in Ann Arbor last year:

According to Rivals Industry Ranking, Johnson-Cook is the No. 27 overall prospect and No. 2 athlete in the 2027 cycle. He has reportedly received offers from some top programs in the country, including Oregon, Georgia, Miami, Texas, Baylor and LSU.

Although Johnson-Cook still has time to make his decision, the timing of Michigan's offer became a talking point on social media. The Wolverines will play Ohio State later this season on Nov. 29.

The No. 3 Buckeyes, who won the national title last season, opened their 2025 season with a 14-7 win over Texas.
