Michigan Football is adding 2025 five-star tackle Andrew Babalola

Late Monday night, the Wolverines hit a home run in the 2025 class, securing a commitment from five-star offensive tackle Andrew Babalola of Overland Park, Kansas (Blue Valley Northwest). According to 247Sports composite rankings, the 6-foot-1, 220-pound prospect is the No. 1 prospect in the state of Kansas, No. 4 among all offensive tackles and No. 21 prospect regardless of position in his class.

“An extremely talented offensive tackle prospect who is relatively new to the game and has virtually limitless long-term potential,” writes Gabe Brooks, scouting analyst at 247Sports. “As a senior, he shows significantly more conviction when completing blocks. Excellent physical stats with a build of almost 6-6 and 34+ arms with huge paws.”

Babalola, a star athlete with a basketball background at both the varsity level and on the AAU circuit, valued academics, which is why Stanford was among his finalists, along with Missouri and Oklahoma. Babalola's 35 scholarship offers included virtually every major school, including Alabama, Georgia, Oregon and Penn State. In the end, however, it was the Wolverines who were able to secure the big commitment.
