BREAKING NEWS: Michigan Takes The Lead in Ty Haywood’s Recruitment as Five-Star OT Sets Official Visit

In a major development for college football recruiting, the University of Michigan has surged ahead in the race to land five-star offensive tackle Ty Haywood. The 6’6″, 320-pound phenom from Dallas, Texas, is ranked as the No. 1 offensive tackle and a top-five overall prospect in the 2025 class. Haywood announced Thursday that he has scheduled an official visit to Ann Arbor for the weekend of February 10, 2025, signaling Michigan’s growing momentum in his recruitment.

Michigan’s rise in Haywood’s recruitment is attributed to the efforts of head coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive line coach Sherrone Moore. Known for producing NFL-ready linemen, the Wolverines have pitched Haywood on their program’s rich tradition, player development, and recent success in the Big Ten and College Football Playoff. Michigan’s back-to-back Joe Moore Awards for the nation’s best offensive line have further solidified its appeal to Haywood.

Sources close to Haywood’s camp suggest the visit could be pivotal in his decision-making process. “Ty has been impressed with Michigan’s track record and the genuine relationships he’s built with the coaching staff,” said a source familiar with his recruitment. “This visit will give him a chance to experience the program’s culture and envision himself there.”

While Michigan is currently seen as the leader, other powerhouse programs remain in contention, including Georgia, Alabama, and Texas. Each school has hosted Haywood for unofficial visits, but none have yet secured an official visit.
