Michigan’s heavy targets in the 2025 recruiting class are starting to take place, and Sherrone Moore is hard at work with his staff to ensure Michigan is in on as many prospects as possible.
Of course, the new head coach spent years working with the offensive line, so beefing up the front five will always be a prime goal for Michigan. In fact, the Wolverines recently gained some good news on the trail when 2025 offensive lineman Malachi Goodman announced he would visit Ann Arbor in late March.
Take a look at the nine trips on Goodman’s swing through the country.

Goodman is unranked on the 247Sports composite, but that shouldn’t be the case much longer because he boasts an impressive offer list. The 6-foot-5 offensive lineman has a national offer sheet featuring Miami, Georgia, Ohio State, USC and more. With all those options, it’ll be tough for Michigan to land a commitment, but getting him on campus early in the process is certainly a win. Hopefully the Wolverines can make an impression and get into his good graces as his stock continues to rise.
The youngster from New Jersey has a number of reasons to go to Michigan. The offensive line development has been off the charts for the Wolverines in recent years. Michigan sent six offensive linemen to this year’s NFL combine, won back-to-back Joe Moore Awards in 2021 and 2022 and produced a half dozen NFL starters.
If Michigan fans feel a twinge of nostalgia at the mention of his high school, they would be more than justified. Paramus Catholic High School has sent two five-stars to Michigan in recent years: Both Jabrill Peppers and Rashan Gary hail from the Garden State powerhouse. Of course, both Peppers and Gary went on to be first-round picks and successful NFL players, so Goodman has good reason to consider the Wolverines.
