Michigan football has long been focused on interior prospects along the offensive line within the transfer portal. Take Brady Norton, for instance. He committed via Cal Poly but played outside previously and is likely to project more inside. Another interior lineman is Northwestern transfer Josh Thompson, who is still undecided.

Unveiling a New Target

On Thursday, a new target emerged in the form of outgoing Washington State tackle Fa’alili Fa’amoe. A 2020 prospect seeking a new home, there is mutual interest between Michigan and Fa’amoe. According to 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz, Fa’amoe has set up a visit to Ann Arbor after concluding his visit to LSU. This news has sparked excitement among Michigan fans as they await his arrival.

Transfer Portal Rankings

Fa’amoe holds a prominent position in the transfer portal rankings. According to 247Sports, he is ranked 4th overall, 22nd at his position. On3 has him ranked 3rd, although the position ranking is not provided. These rankings highlight his status as a highly sought-after player.

The Impact on the Wolverines

With Myles Hinton moving on, the Wolverines find themselves without an obvious heir apparent at both tackle spots. This is especially true with Andrew Gentry opting to transfer. If Michigan can secure a transfer for one side, there is the possibility of rolling with Andrew Sprague at tackle on the other and moving Evan Link inside. However, it also depends on who else the team manages to acquire through the transfer portal. The search for offensive line talent is crucial for Michigan's success, and Fa’amoe's potential addition could be a significant boost.

Looking Ahead

As Michigan continues to explore the transfer portal, the addition of Fa’amoe could provide much-needed depth and stability to the offensive line. His experience and skills could make him a valuable asset for the team. Fans are eagerly awaiting his visit to Ann Arbor and hoping that he will choose to join the Wolverines. The future of Michigan's offensive line looks promising with the potential addition of this talented transfer.
