While the Michigan Wolverines are struggling this year, the program learned some huge news on Monday. Michigan landed an elite football commit out of the Great Plains that helped bolster their recruiting class in 2025.
Offensive tackle Andrew Babalola committed to the Wolverines. The third-ranked offensive tackle in the 2025 cycle behind two Top 10 players will join the Wolverines next year.
“All Glory to God!” Babalola said.

Babalola is one of the nation’s elite recruits from the Class of 2025. He ranks 11th on On3’s rankings, which are led by LSU commit and Michigan native Bryce Underwood. Will Black, a Notre Dame commit, and David Sanders Jr., a Tennessee commit, are the only two offensive tackles ranked ahead of Babalola next year.
To no surprise, Babalola is the top recruit in the state of Kansas.
Michigan’s 2025 recruiting class now ranks 12th in the country and fourth in the Big Ten, behind Ohio State and newcomers Oregon and Southern California. The Wolverines will have to keep up with the pace, but landing Babolola was a coup for head coach Sherrone Moore and the program.
According to Hayes Fawcett, the talented Babalola elected to commit to Michigan over several other notable schools. Auburn, Mizzou, Oklahoma, and Stanford were all in on him.
The college football world had plenty to say about Michigan and their big recruiting victory.
Well that helps during a rough season. We’re gonna be alright, we’re the ‘97 Hurricanes, on the cusp of something great. Patience is key here. https://t.co/FgYiVqktIU
