2025 4-star offensive lineman set to visit Auburn this weekend

2025 Four-star offensive lineman Malachi Goodman is reportedly set to visit the Plains this weekend from May 17-19.

2025 Four-star offensive lineman Malachi Goodman is reportedly set to visit the Plains this weekend from May 17-19. The Paramus, NJ native is not only a highly touted recruit, but specifically a desired prospect in the SEC, as Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia have all officially sent an offer to the 6-foot-5 star lineman.

The SEC trio is joined by Big 10 programs USC and Penn State on Goodman’s offer list, but the Tigers will be the first school to host him this summer. If Hugh Freeze and company are able to land the high school senior it would be an immediate boost to an already decent looking 2025 recruiting class.

With Goodman set to visit all five aforementioned schools this summer before competing in his senior season for Paramus Catholic, his decision is probably a decent amount of time away. Still, a successful visit on the Plains this weekend could help sway Goodman towards the orange and blue once signing day rolls around.

Top-rated offensive lineman details latest visit to UF

The Florida Gators hosted 4-star interior lineman for an official visit back in January.

The Florida Gators have been hosting a plethora of top-rated recruits throughout the duration of spring practices, and a top-rated interior lineman from Paramus, New Jersey detailed all the goods from his recent visit with the program.

Four-star lineman [autotag]Malachi Goodman[/autotag] sat down with Swamp247 to reveal what went down ever since he received his offer from Florida on Jan. 17.

“It was my first time over there,” Goodman said. “It was a cool place. I had a good visit at Florida. The campus and facilities were all nice, and the coaches were really welcoming.”

Goodman is claiming that he wants to wrap up his tour of different programs before narrowing down his choices of top schools.

“I feel like I have to visit the rest of the schools that I am going to try to before I can answer who stands out or who I like,” Goodman said. “Also will be able to answer who I want to take an official visit to. I just need to visit more schools before I can make any top schools.”

All that aside, the high school junior was able to have a sit down with Florida offensive staff members like offensive coordinator Rob Sale, line coach John DeCoster, and former offensive line coach Darnell Stapleton, who has since moved on to the NFL with the Washington Commanders.

“(Stapleton) was the main coach I was talking to, but it’s going good getting to know Coach Sale. I feel like we are building a connection. I like (DeCoster), he seems pretty cool. I like that they have two offensive line coaches there. Watching the practice, I like how intense and fast-paced they are.”

Malachi Goodman is a four-star recruit from Paramus Catholic High (New Jersey). He’s currently rated by 247Sports as the No. 113 prospect in the nation while ranking at No. 8 for interior offensive lineman. Goodman is sitting on offers from USC, Michigan, Penn State, and Ohio State.

Michigan football to receive visit from rising 2025 offensive lineman

He’s got some big-time offers! #GoBlue

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.

UGA football offers talented OL Malachi Goodman

Georgia football has offered a scholarship to Paramus Catholic offensive lineman Malachi Goodman

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to class of 2025 offensive tackle recruit Malachi Goodman.

Goodman plays high school football for Paramus Catholic High School in Paramus, New Jersey. Georgia is recruiting the state of New Jersey much harder ever since defensive backs coach Fran Brown joined Kirby Smart’s staff.

The 6-foot-5, 315-pound interior offensive lineman is currently an unranked recruit. Goodman has recently visited Penn State and Nebraska. The talented offensive tackle has recent scholarship offers from South Carolina, Syracuse, Rutgers, and Penn State.

Goodman announced his scholarship offer from the University of Georgia via social media:

Georgia has the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class in the 2025 recruiting cycle.

Paramus Catholic standout Malachi Goodman has been offered by Rutgers football

Malachi Goodman was offered by Rutgers football this week.

Malachi Goodman is the latest offer to go out for Rutgers football.

A class of 2025 recruit, Goodman is an offensive lineman at Paramus Catholic (Paramus, New Jersey). He already holds offers from Boston College, Duke, Maryland, Miami, Michigan, Nebraska and Penn State among others.

Goodman was offered a month ago by Virginia Tech.

He is a 6-foot-5, 315-pound offensive lineman who projects as a guard at the next level.

Goodman is a mountain of a prospect who already has Power Five size. He moves very well and uses his length to force pass rushers into changing directions. He shuffles easily and has impressive footwork as well as hips.

He posted about the Rutgers offer on Wednesday night on X, the socially media platform formerly known as Twitter:

 

He needs to work a bit on his pad level and use of hands, but he has a lot of good tools to work with. Perhaps most impressive is that he does a nice job of finishing his blocks off.

Rutgers is currently 5-2 (2-2 Big Ten) following a comeback win on Saturday where they overcame an 18-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Michigan State.
