The Michigan football team had a very important visitor on campus over the weekend as five-star offensive tackle Felix Ojo was on his official visit. Ojo is one of the best players in the entire 2026 recruiting class, and there are a few top programs still vying for his commitment. Oklahoma was supposed to be one of those teams, but Ojo cancelled his official visit with the Sooners after his trip to Ann Arbor.
“NEWS: Five-Star OT Felix Ojo will no longer take an Official Visit to Oklahoma, he tells me for @on3recruits,” Hayes Fawcett said in a post. “The No. 6 Recruit in the ‘26 Class was scheduled to visit the Sooners June 20th.”
It definitely feels like a good sign for the Michigan football team that Felix Ojo cancelled this official visit after visiting with the Wolverines. He did visit some other top programs before going to Ann Arbor, however, so nothing is set in stone.
Texas and Ohio State seem to be the two biggest threats to Michigan in the recruitment of this Texas native. It’s going to be a tight race, but Ojo is nearing a decision.
“Not needed,” Ojo said of his scheduled Oklahoma visit. “Nearing my decision a lot sooner than later.”
It’s unclear when exactly we will hear a decision, but this would be a massive pickup for the Michigan football team.
