Michigan Wolverines spring game confirms Achilles heel for team that could undo the 2025 season before it even begins
Perhaps the most worrisome part of this is their uninspiring left tackle battle. Myles Hinton anchored this spot last season at a high level, but with his departure, the blindside protector is a massive hole.Michigan rotated Evan Link, who struggled at right tackle last season, and freshman Andrew Babalola there at the spring game. Link committed a holding penalty, and both struggled in pass protection throughout the game. There is some thought that FCS transfer Brady Norton might start here to start the season after handling right tackle in the spring game.
This is a significant concern for Michigan, but they have yet to invest much here in either the spring or fall transfer portal, adding just Norton and Ferris State guard Lawrence Hattar out of the portal.
Their lack of consistency up front could be a key reason why the Wolverines seem hesitant to throw Bryce Underwood out early as a freshman behind this offensive line. Michigan will play numerous talented defensive lines all season, including Oklahoma and Ohio State. The last thing they want this season is Underwood picking up bad habits in the pocket, or worse, getting hurt from their lack of protection.
We'll see how Michigan aims to solve this moving forward, but it's a worrying sign for their 2025 hopes.

Remember when they recruited that low 3* RB and he was "Baby Beanie Wells?" Hopkins i believe was his name.

Michigan says its April 19 spring football game will be televised on Big Ten Network but won’t air until roughly a week later — after the spring transfer portal window closes.

It's like TSUN of all teams doesn't realize if they were that interested in poaching their players they could just pay people to go their spring game?
