The 5-star Michigan football freshman OL that might play with Bryce Underwood
The post The 5-star Michigan football freshman OL that might play with Bryce Underwood appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Michigan football team has a very talented recruiting class coming in, and we all know of one freshman that is likely to earn a starting role. That player is quarterback Bryce Underwood. Underwood was the #1 overall player in the 2025 recruiting class, and he will probably end up winning the QB battle. There is a chance that he has a freshman protecting him as Andrew Babalola, who was also a five-star, has been turning heads. Andrew Babalola wasn't the top recruit in the 2025 Michigan football recruiting class because of Bryce Underwood, but he is a close second. Babalola was the #10 player in the country, and he was the #2 offensive tackle. Most freshman have to wait a year or two to see significant playing time, but Babalola might have a big role this year. 'Babs (Andrew Babalola) is really intelligent,' offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey said, according to a post from The Wolverine. 'Sometimes what keeps guys from reaching their early potential is figuring out the calls or the fronts.' Michigan's offensive line was very young and inexperienced last year after losing the entire starting line from the 2023 season. Because of that, the Wolverines have a lot of talent back at the position, and it should be a stronger unit compared to last year. Still, if Babalola is good enough to be out there, he's going to play. 'I like the progress he's making, but we'll see,' Lindsey continued. 'In this day and age, though, if they're ready, you play them.' Regardless of the role that Andrew Babalola has this season, Michigan football fans should be very excited about the duo of five-star freshman that just joined the program. Before we know it, we will be watching Babalola protect Bryce Underwood. This 2025 recruiting class is shaping up to be a special one.

You can stay in a converted train carriage at a Victorian railway station that's ‘better than a five star hotel'
ANYONE who loves a unique Airbnb stay needs to check out this converted Victorian train carriage. Found in Saddleworth, Manchester, is a 1895 GWR carriage that's been restored outside an old railway station and, according to guests, is just as good as five-star hotels. 5 5 The Airbnb in question is called 'The Carriage at The Old Station' and has room for two guests. Inside is a bedroom and living space, kitchenette and bathroom. The blended bedroom and living space has been fitted with bright pink carpets and curtains, the panelled ceiling is white and blue and there are Victorian style lights and wallpaper. Guests can sleep on the double bed, and in the daytime there are two bright blue bucket chairs to sit on. The kitchenette is kitted out with a toaster, kettle, teapot, mini fridge and there's a radio for a singalong too. There's air conditioning for the hot summers, and when it reaches the chilly months, there's a working log burner. For entertainment there's a television and plenty of board games. The carriage has been open to guests for just under a year according to the Airbnb website. It has 53 sparkling reviews so far and is a 'guest favourite' in the top five per cent of eligible listings. One visitor even wrote on their review: 'We regularly stay in five-star locations and this surpassed five-star easily! We highly recommend a stay here.' I stayed in London's coolest hotel room - with racing simulators, cocktail bar AND you can take the dressing gowns home 5 5 Another added: "Outstanding and quirky. Exactly the peaceful break we hoped for - the detail invested in restoring the carriage is remarkable." The Airbnb host, Nigel Brooke, renovated the carriage himself and lives in the adjoining railway station. He revealed plans to extend his Airbnb and create a space for guests in the station's former waiting room. Near to the Airbnb is the world record-holding pub called Old Bell Inn which has the most amount of gin available to customers - over 1,100. The carriage is close to the Diggle Canal so it's a great place for a leisurely stroll before grabbing a pint (or gin), and heading back for the night. It's also a 10-minute drive to Peak District National Park. For anyone who wants to stay, you can book from £200 per night (including the Airbnb service fee). Plus, the new train journey with private booths, free cocktails & sea views to launch in world's cheapest holiday destination. And here are Tripadvisor's best UK hotels revealed – including a huge ship, old train station, safari park and a prison.
