The Wolverines are expected to receive a visit from five-star OT Andrew Babalola at some point this summer. Babaloa, a Kansas native, could be leaning elsewhere, however. Stanford, which has some of the best academics in the country, received a prediction from On3 insider Steve Wiltfong:

Seems that NIL isn’t a huge driving force in this recruitment but this has to sting for Michigan, which was once believed to be a front-runner and is coming off a Natty and nearly the same academic pedigree, can’t beat out Stanford (coming off a 3-9 season) for a top tackle recruit.
