Michigan Football has successfully enlisted top-tier offensive linemen while…

I previously discussed how the Wolverines were recruiting running backs at a great rate. It should come as no surprise that the offensive line is the other position group that the Wolverines are recruiting exceptionally well. As long as Sherrone Moore is working, the offensive line haul should remain excellent, as it was in the 2024 class.

Despite not obtaining the most highly-regarded players, Michigan football has been an offensive line factory, creating a ton of NFL quality. Although they didn’t win it last year, the Wolverines had five or six NFL players on their offensive line. They have won the Joe Moore award for best offensive line two of the previous three years.

Michigan beats Alabama in Rose Bowl game: The College Football Playoff  semifinal went to overtime.

 

As things stand right now, the chances of an offensive lineman starting for Michigan football making it to the NFL are rather good. It seems that the recruits who are interested in Michigan are more obviously reflecting this success.

Why the Wolverines haven’t been a significant contender for the best offensive line prospects has always been a mystery. Things seem to be improving this year, as several elite lineman have visited and are seriously considering Michigan. In fact, the Wolverines might be ahead for a few of them, and when they do, they have a lot of momentum. That being stated, let us examine a few of Michigan’s best offensive linemen.

 

Five-Star Rating Babaloa Andrew (KS)
By all accounts, Andrew Babaloa had an excellent visit to Ann Arbor last week. Babaloa is anticipated to make a formal visitation return to Michigan later this year. That’s encouraging and confirms Michigan football’s status as a serious contender.

In my opinion, this is a highly competitive recruitment. Kids are obviously developing strong bonds with Sherrone Moore and Grant Newsome, who are excellent recruiters and coaches. It is obvious that Babaloa adores Michigan and would be willing to play in Ann Arbor. My only concern is if NIL will be involved in this to a significant extent.

It remains to be seen if Michigan is growing more receptive to using NIL to lure
