When hired to be the new head coach of Michigan football nearly a year ago, Sherrone Moore vowed to make both recruiting and NIL a priority. And one full cycle in, he's managed to do both. Moore was already building an impressive class before he managed to land five-star offensive tackle Andrew Babalola and five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood in just a few weeks' time.

Ty Haywood, the highly-coveted offensive tackle from Denton, Texas (Ryan High School) who was previously committed to Alabama before he re-opened his recruitment last month, officially pledged to join the Wolverines on Wednesday, the first day of the final national signing window which runs through April 1.

Haywood, a 6-foot-5, 285-pound lineman from Denton (Texas) Ryan, made it official during a ceremony at his high school on Wednesday morning, the first day of the national signing period. Michigan now has 24 commitments to the 2025 class, including 14 who enrolled early.

Months after Michigan made a splash by flipping the five-star quarterback away from LSU, Sherrone Moore and the Wolverines dipped back into the SEC pool to pluck another blue-chipper -- this one to protect for Underwood during his run in Ann Arbor.

If the Wolverines can close with Haywood, they would finish with four top-50 recruits. They didn’t sign any the previous two cycles. Haywood has 33 reported offers and also took official visits to Oklahoma, Florida State, Texas A&M and TCU earlier in his recruitment.
