Michigan guard L.J. Cason committed to Miami, announcing his decision on social media.

Cason suffered a torn ACL in February and had surgery after the season, according to The Detroit News. How quickly Cason recovers from surgery will determine whether he redshirts or gets back on the court during the 2026-27 season.

Cason, a rising junior, spent two seasons at Michigan. He played in 28 games last year, coming off the bench in all of them. He averaged 8.4 points, 2.4 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 18.6 minutes.
