Michigan football predicted to land top OT target
The post Michigan football predicted to land top OT target appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Michigan football team is scorching hot on the recruiting trail, and more commitments are coming. The Wolverines have already landed three prospects this week, and a few more are expected to roll in throughout the next few days. One player who Michigan is expected to land is four-star offensive tackle Malakai Lee, who received a prediction to commit to the Wolverines. This would be a big add for head coach Sherrone Moore. Advertisement 'FONG BOMB: On3's @SWiltfong_has logged an expert prediction for Michigan to land 4-star OT Malakai Lee,' On3 Recruits said in a post. Malakai Lee will be announcing his commitment on Friday, and the Michigan football team is one of his top options. He is also considering Alabama, Georgia and Texas. Lee is a four-star recruit, according to 247Sports. He is the #137 player in the 2026 recruiting class, the #10 OT and the #2 player in the state of Hawaii. Lee currently attends Kamehameha High School in Honolulu, HI. Michigan is a big change from the island life. 'From a traits standpoint, offensive linemen don't come much better looking than Lee,' Lee's scouting report reads. 'He's all of 6-6, 325 pounds with verified 36' arms and an 85'+ wingspan. He's a fluid mover as well and has the feet, balance and frame to project as a tackle and could line up on either side, right or left in college. He plays a little hoops as well and checks off the multi-sport box for us.' Advertisement A lot of great offensive lineman have come through Michigan in recent years, and Lee could be the next. 'He uses his length well and has the ability to slide and mirror opposing edge rushers,' the scouting report continues. 'He has added some physicality in the run game over the last year. He's putting guys on their backs more but playing with a more aggressive edge to him is an area we think Lee can still improve on. Saying that, he's an easy high Power 4 prospect and if he hits his ceiling, he will be playing football for a very long time.' The Michigan football team is expecting multiple commitments in the coming days, and Malakai Lee is announcing his decision on Friday. It feels like good news is coming for the Wolverines.

Browns Add 'Mammoth' Offensive Tackle with Extra First-Round Pick in 2026 NFL Mock Draft
Browns Add 'Mammoth' Offensive Tackle with Extra First-Round Pick in 2026 NFL Mock Draft originally appeared on Athlon Sports. We don't know who will be under center for the Cleveland Browns in 2025, but it's safe to assume it'll be one of the four quarterbacks on the offseason roster. Advertisement But what about beyond next season? There is much speculation that none of the four - Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders - will survive as the starter beyond the upcoming campaign. In PFSN's way-too-early 2026 NFL Draft, it predicted the Browns would select Arch Manning first overall. Afterward, in PFSN's scenario, Cleveland attempts to give Manning some protection. The Browns gained the No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 draft day deal that gave Jacksonville the No. 2 pick. Advertisement And with that pick, the Browns select a "mammoth offensive tackle with a sky-high ceiling," per PFSN. ROUND 1, PICK 8 - Cleveland Browns: Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama "At a hulking 6-7 and 360 pounds, Kadyn Proctor is a mammoth offensive tackle with a sky-high ceiling," PFSN wrote. "The Alabama Crimson Tide's left tackle has rare physical traits without sacrificing athletic gifts. His physical profile alone projects him as a high selection. Proctor combines intense power and leg drive to displace defenders in the run game while possessing the nasty demeanor required to dominate on the ground. He also boasts a strong anchor in pass protection. Advertisement "Yet, there are still some technical things to clean up this season, including a tendency to bend at the waist."
