2026 4-star IOL sets Michigan football visit

One of the elite IOL prospects out there. #GoBlue

The Michigan football coaches have been scurrying around the country looking for the next crop of Wolverines, but in time, they’ll get back to hosting prospective talent on campus once again.

While that may start again this weekend (unclear) the maize and blue are certainly looking to the future. Among those that Michigan would like to get into a winged helmet is 2026 Prosper (Tx.) four-star interior offensive lineman Zaden Krempin. According to On3’s Steve Wiltfong (subscription required), Krempin has set a slate of visits, and that includes making his way to Ann Arbor — presumably at the start of spring ball — on March 16-17.

Here is how Krempin ranks according to the recruiting services:

* Ovr Pos St
247Sports Composite 4 181 12 24
On3 Industry Ranking 4 166 12 18
247Sports 4 225 14 33
On3 4 184 14 21
ESPN 4 236 33 28
Rivals 4 140 15 16

Krempin is also set to visit SMU, Clemson, and Texas A&M through his slate spanning from February to late March.

Texas A&M’s coaching staff recently visited 2026 4-star OL out of the DFW area

Texas A&M’s recruiting strategy under coach Mike Elko isn’t vastly different from that of former head coach Jimbo Fisher, except for the enhanced focus on the Dallas Fort Worth area, which is a sight for sore eyes among the fan base.

Alongside offensive line coach Adam Cushing, Elko paid a visit to 2026 four-star offensive tackle Zaden Krempin out of Prosper (TX), a recruiting pipeline to Texas Tech, as Cushing has kept his eye on the incoming senior who has risen in the recruiting rankings heading into his 2025 senior season.

This offseason, it’s clear that Elko and Cushing are looking to load up in the trenches in every recruiting cycle after adding six offensive line signees in the 2025 class. Last Saturday’s junior day included visits from 2026 five-star offensive tackles Jackson Cantwell and Immanuel Iheanacho.

Kremlin, who stands at a solid 6-5 and is over 270 pounds, already thrives as a run blocker and is still developing as a pass protector, though his hand placement and footwork continue to improve every season.

According to 247Sports Composite, Krempin is currently positioned as the 180th-ranked prospect in the 2026 class, the 12th-ranked interior offensive lineman, and the 24th-ranked prospect in Texas.

Four-Star OL in 2026 class sets date for Longhorns visit

Four-star offensive tackle Zaden Krempin will to take an unofficial visit to Texas during that weekend

When the Texas Longhorns take on the Georgia Bulldogs next month, one of the top offensive lineman in the 2026 class will be attendance. Four-star offensive tackle Zaden Krempin will to take an unofficial visit to Texas during that weekend, according to 247Sports’ Andrew Hattersley.

The Prosper Texas product, is ranked the No. 11 interior offensive lineman and the No. 155 overall player in the class of 2026, according to 247Sports. Adding Krempin to their talent mix would be a big win for the Longhorns as they look to put their offense in the best position to be successful in 2026 and beyond.

While Texas has made its interest known, it does have competition. Krempin is also expected to visit Michigan, LSU, SMU, Baylor, and Tenessee this fall. For teams in need of help on the offensive line, Krempin has been a popular name.

As the recruiting season continues, Krempin will be a player to watch. The Longhorns are trying to make a good first impression in the SEC and will also try to show Krempin when he visits why his future should include a stop in Austin. If all goes as planned for the Longhorns, he could get the opportunity to play with Arch Manning for at least one season.

If the Longhorns can land Krempin, a promising future will become even brighter.
