Mount Carmel four-star defensive back Tavares Harrington, who had 50 tackles along with nine pass breakups, six tackles for loss, three interceptions and a touchdown while helping the Caravan win their fourth straight IHSA state championship, announced his commitment to Michigan during a Rivals YouTube live stream Friday evening.

Harrington, whose teammate Quentin Burrell committed to Michigan earlier this month, added a sack, a forced fumble and a blocked kick during his junior season in 2025. The 6-foot-3, 180-pounder is the No. 7 ranked overall recruit and the No. 1 cornerback prospect in the state’s 2027 class, according to the 247Sports composite ratings.

“The coaching staff and the DC, coach Hill, did a great job of recruiting me,” Harrington said. “They came to see me a lot this spring. They’re getting a dog. I’m giving them everything I’ve got.”

Harrington was named to the Friday Night Drive All-CCL/ESCC First Team during his junior season. Harrington also earned All-CCL/ESCC honors in the Blue Division. As a sophomore, Harrington recorded 39 tackles, 15 pass breakups and an interception to help Mount Carmel win the Class 7A state title. The Caravan went 14-0 this past fall.
