Kelvin Obot, offensive tackle

Felix Ojo is another dream target for the Wolverines. He's a five-star offensive tackle but Texas will be tough to beat, even though Michigan has made some headway.

Another offensive tackle who isn't quite as touted is Kelvin Obot. He's 6-foot-5, 265 pounds out of Fruitland, Idaho. He will visit Michigan football this weekend, and it feels like there is a chance the Wolverines could close out a commitment.

Utah is one of the teams in the mix. Nebraska is, too, along with Oregon. With Andrew Babalola and Ty Haywood in the 2025 class, along with Andrew Sprague slated to start at right tackle for the next 2-3 years, along with Babalola on the left, tackle isn't a huge need.

But, you always want to have a stable of talented pass protectors. Obot would fit the mold, plus the Wolverines have done well with others from Idaho (Colston Loveland).
