Michigan football lands four-star offensive lineman Lincoln Mageo
Michigan football coach Kyle Whittingham introduced to Crisler crowd
Michigan football coach Kyle Whittingham introduced to Crisler Center in Ann Arbor on Friday, Jan. 2, 2026.
Michigan football did the bulk of its work on recruiting its class of 2027 in May and June, but continues to round out its class, which came with another commitment in the trenches.
The Wolverines landed a pledge from four-star interior lineman Lincoln Mageo out of Oceanside High in Oceanside, California, who chose U-M over Utah and Washington on Saturday, July 11. Mageo, who had more than 20 Division I offers including programs such as Ohio State, Texas and USC, stands 6 feet 4 and 280 pounds.
Mageo, who visited Ann Arbor in early June, was named a Polynesian Bowl All-Star.
“Strong customer as a drive blocker in the run game,” 247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks wrote. “Flashes some heavy-handed pop, particularly when traveling and when helping in pass pro.
“Enhancing fluidity throughout lower half will raise the ceiling on pass-pro ability. Projects to the P4 level as a candidate to become a run-game enforcer.”
Mageo is rated the No. 19 interior lineman in the nation, the No. 31 player in California and No. 369 in the class of 2027, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings. He’s the fourth offensive line pledge to sign on to play for position coach Jim Harding, joining four-star Jakari Lipsey, three-star Sidney Rouleau and three-star Louis Esposito (the son of former U-M D-line coach Lou Esposito, who departed for the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens).
Michigan now has 21 commits in its class, which was ranked No. 19, per 247, prior to Mageo’s commitment.

A Powerball ticket in Michigan won $1 million in the Saturday, Aug. 8 drawing, according to the Michigan Lottery.
The ticket matched the five white balls — 5, 9, 35, 54 and 63.
The ticket was sold at Big Top Market at 3630 Clyde Park Ave. SW in Wyoming.
Three other tickets — sold in Arizona, Florida and New York — matched the five white balls to also win $1 million each.
No one won the Powerball jackpot in the Saturday drawing, increasing the prize for the Monday, Aug. 10 drawing to $905 million ($391.9 million cash value), the eighth-largest jackpot in Powerball history.
Monday’s drawing will be the 43rd consecutive drawing in the current jackpot, according to Powerball. The Powerball jackpot was last won May 2, when tickets sold in Florida and Texas split a $20 million jackpot.
The largest winning Powerball jackpot ticket sold in Michigan was worth $842.4 million and sold in January 2024 at Food Castle in Grand Blanc.

Storm potential to start the week in Metro Detroit
4Warn Weather – Parts of Southeast Michigan saw spotty showers and heard a few rumbles of thunder Saturday, but most remained dry. High pressure keeps skies clear into the first part of Sunday before rain chances return.
Tonight temperatures will drop into the mid 50s to low 60s.
We’ll have a lighter breeze out of the northwest with mostly clear conditions.
That leads to a sunny start to Sunday ahead of increasing afternoon cloud cover. Highs will be in the mid 80s.
Rain looks to move in during the evening hours.
Rain could be heavy at times overnight into early Monday.
A few storms may be strong later Sunday into Monday, and the Storm Prediction Center has placed the southwestern side of our viewing area under a Marginal Risk (level 1 out of 5) for severe weather during that time frame.
Southeast Michigan will continue to have the chance for rain later Monday as well. There are Marginal and Slight (level 2 out of 5) risks for severe weather Monday afternoon and evening.
Damaging winds and large hail will be the main threats with any strong storms that develop.
Although we’ll have the chance for rain and thunderstorms into the midweek, temperatures will stay warm. Highs on Monday will be in the mid 80s before we see more low 80s Tuesday and Wednesday.
