Andrew Babalola is a high-upside Michigan tackle with starter traits and a still-building college résumé
Babalola entered 2026 as one of Michigan’s most important young players, a 6-foot-6, 315-pound sophomore tackle with five-star pedigree and real left-tackle buzz. He missed all of 2025 after an ACL tear, but reports this August said he was back in camp and in contention for a starting job if fully healthy. Why care? He brings rare size, elite recruiting validation, and the kind of ceiling Michigan loves up front; the fit is strongest for a team that can be patient while he regains full confidence and game reps.
