The Overland Park (Kan.) Blue Valley Northwest four-star is the highest-ranked Midwest offensive tackle that is uncommitted. Since the region is known for its beef up front, you know he’s got some serious options.

Babalola took summer official visits to Auburn, Missouri, Stanford, Michigan and Oklahoma. Every program came away from his official feeling good about its chances with him.

Prediction: Georgia
