Top-rated recruit Andrew Babalola, a five-star offensive lineman, is nearing his college decision. Although he initially aimed to decide by now, Andrew Babalola recently informed ON3’s Steve Wiltfong that he plans to make his choice “soon.” Michigan Football is contending with Stanford, Auburn, Oklahoma, and Missouri for the elite lineman from Kansas.
So where does Michigan stand?
Michigan is competing closely with Stanford and Auburn for Babalola’s commitment. While Auburn has strong recruiting momentum and attractive NIL offers, Michigan is right there in the mix, potentially alongside Stanford as the top contenders. The Wolverines have an edge with their top-notch academics and football program, a significant factor for Babalola who values academic excellence (which initially made Stanford a leading contender).
Michigan’s coaching staff, particularly Sherrone Moore, has been actively engaging with Babalola over the past few months. Despite early predictions favoring Stanford, recent developments suggest that Michigan has been closing the gap. Although Auburn could offer substantial financial incentives, they currently don’t surpass Michigan or Stanford in terms of appeal.
The fact that Babalola’s decision is still pending is advantageous for Michigan, allowing them to maintain strong competition against Stanford. With Babalola expected to make his choice before his senior season begins, Michigan’s chances are promising.
In essence, Michigan has done everything possible to secure Babalola’s commitment. With the decision coming soon, keep an eye out for updates. Go Blue!
