One week after five-star offensive tackle Felix Ojo officially visited the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus, Ohio, Ojo will be in Ann Arbor, Michigan to see the Michigan Wolverines during the first full weekend of June.
“Felix Ojo has been a busy man. He has already taken official visits to Colorado, Florida, Ohio State and Ole Miss,” On3’s Chad Simmons wrote. “The five-star offensive tackle out of Texas will be in Ann Arbor this weekend and the Wolverines have some ground to make up. Texas is setting the pace and Ohio State looks to be the Longhorns’ top competition heading into the weekend.
“Can the Wolverines become a contender? This is their chance. They would love to dip into Texas, like they did with Ty Haywood a year ago, and steal one.”

One could argue the Buckeyes are trying to “steal” Ojo instead. Based on Simmons’ assessment, Ohio State has a better chance of landing the five-star recruit.

But the question is whether Michigan can move the needle for Ojo this weekend.
Ojo had already posted a picture from the beginning of his Ann Arbor visit early Friday morning.
Based on the 247 Sports composite rankings, Ojo is the No. 2 offensive tackle and top Texas recruit in the 2026 class.
Ojo is also a top 10 recruit overall, sitting at No. 7 on the 247 Sports composite rankings for the entire class.
The tackle will play his final high school season at Lake Ridge in Mansfield, Texas this fall.
