Michigan’s biggest recruiting event of the summer, the BBQ at the Big House, is set for this weekend. Over 50 players are expected to visit Ann Arbor, promising plenty of recruiting news in the coming days.
In the meantime, here’s the latest on Michigan’s recruiting efforts.
Michigan Pursuing 2026 Five-Star OL
Michigan has built a reputation for developing offensive linemen, and they’re looking to add elite talent like 2026 five-star Immanuel Iheanacho from Rockville, Maryland. Ranked fourth in the 2026 class by the 247Sports composite, Iheanacho received an offer from Michigan this spring and has offers from numerous schools ahead of his junior high school season.
In an interview with EJ Holland of The Wolverine, Iheanacho expressed his excitement about the offer and the interest Michigan has shown in him, especially given their recent national championship win. Offensive line coach Grant Newsome has been building a good relationship with Iheanacho, who appreciates Newsome’s background as a Michigan alum and national champion.
Iheanacho plans to visit Ann Arbor eventually, noting his interest in seeing the stadium, the campus, and some local food spots.
2026 Four-Star OT Visiting Michigan for the First Time This Weekend
Leo Delaney, a 2026 four-star offensive lineman from North Carolina, is visiting Ann Arbor for the first time this weekend for the BBQ. Ranked just outside the top-70 in his class by the 247Sports composite, Delaney has offers from over two dozen schools, including Michigan. He’s looking forward to seeing former high school teammates Jadyn Davis and Channing Goodwin at Michigan.
Delaney is aware of Michigan’s strong track record in developing offensive linemen, citing their recent successes at the NFL Combine and their multiple Joe Moore Awards. He believes Michigan could significantly aid his development.

Mullins, from Greenfield, Indiana, is rated just outside the top-70 in his class by the 247Sports composite. His shooting ability, athleticism around the rim, and tenacity on the offensive glass make him an attractive prospect for Michigan.
The Wolverines will continue to track Mullins and other players in the talented 2025 recruiting class.
