Recruitment

He’s the one who kicked it all off. El-Hadi was the first in the 2021 class to pull the trigger for the Wolverines in March 2019, and he never wavered on his pledge.

Since, he joined J.J. McCarthy in being a vocal leader to try and lure fellow recruits to Ann Arbor.

Readiness Level

A prototypical tackle, El-Hadi likely has to wait until his second year until he becomes an everyday contributor, as he’s behind both Ryan Hayes and transfer Willie Allen.
