Adding a huge talent to the trenches

When it has been three years since you have landed a five-star prospect, it doesn't matter what position, but outside of quarterback, there's nothing I love more than a 5-star lineman, on either side of the ball.

Babalola is the highest-rated offensive line recruit committed to Michigan football in the rankings era. Babalola is a raw prospect still. But he's got all the tools to become a first-round pick.

When you add Babalola to the current room with Andrew Sprague, Blake Frazier, and others, it's easy to feel good about the offensive tackle room in the future. Avery Gach and Kaden Strayhorn make for a really good three-man class.

You still have to develop that talent though. Babalola said he believes in Moore's vision for Michigan football but the Wolverines have to show they can develop young talent better than they have this season at least.
