Sherrone Moore has had some recruiting fireworks in his first year, landing thus far one of the best classes for Michigan football in memory — including in Jim Harbaugh’s tenure.
And it’s getting even better.
The Kansas native head coach went all-in to secure a commitment from 2025 Overland Park (Kan.) Blue Valley Northwest five-star offensive tackle Andrew Babalola, who was long seen as a Stanford lean. However, other schools — Auburn and Oklahoma — got heavily involved late, making things interesting.
However, Moore officially has his first five-star in the fold as Babalola officially made his verbal commitment to the maize and blue.

The scouting report from 247Sports’ Gabe Brooks:
Immensely gifted offensive tackle prospect who’s relatively newer to football and possesses virtually limitless long-term potential. Showing noticeably more block-finishing conviction as a senior. Outstanding physical measurables with a frame approaching 6-6 and 34+ arms with huge paws. Lean with ample frame space, though perhaps a tad more narrow than originally perceived upon live evaluation. Natural bender who plays with a wide base in pass protection, where he’s capable of consistently and effectively anchoring vs. strength. Originally a basketball player whose functional athleticism in pads reflects that background. Logged valuable two-way snaps previously in high school. Still developing hand placement technique and can more consistently exploit length to his advantage. May need a bit more time to develop at the P4 level than more ready-made tackle prospects, but owns a case for the highest-ceiling OT prospect in the 2025 recruiting…
