MICHIGAN

One of the more interesting questions in the Big Ten over the next couple of seasons will be how Sherrone Moore adjusts to being the head coach in Ann Arbor. There have already been various things he’s navigated well this offseason. But we’ll learn more when the team hits the field this fall.

On the recruiting trail, Michigan doesn’t have a 2026 commitment yet but it’s obviously early. I’m curious how (if at all) Moore reshapes the type of prospects the program goes after. The emphasis on the lines of scrimmage will continue under him. Expect the Wolverines to be in the mix for 2026 offensive tackles Khalif Canty and Gregory Patrick. They are also fighting for five-star offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell, plus four-stars Maxwell Riley and Sam Greer.

Business will pick up in a big way over the next few months for Michigan recruiting.
