Report: Michigan O-Lineman, a Five-Star Recruit, Suffers Serious Knee Injury

Andrew Babalola, a top-ranked freshman offensive tackle, is expected to miss the entire 2025 season after a knee injury during a competition for Michigan's starting left tackle position.

  • Suffering a knee injury, Andrew Babalola, a five-star true freshman offensive tackle, is feared to miss his season, per CBS Sports’ Zenitz.
  • Amid a fierce camp battle, Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore said earlier this week that Babalola was pushing for the starting left tackle spot in a day-to-day competition with Evan Link.
  • Weighing 315 pounds and standing 6-foot-6, Babalola ranks among the most highly-touted recruits in the class of 2025, with Gabe Brooks saying he may have the highest ceiling of any tackle.
  • To fill the blind-side gap, Michigan elevates Evan Link, Blake Frazier and Andrew Sprague, with Link expected to start at left tackle before the season opener.
  • Ahead of the August 30, 2025, opener against New Mexico, Michigan is expected to start Evan Link as coaches finalize the depth chart.
