2025 four-star OL Michael Carroll includes Michigan in top 4
We’ve seen the Michigan Wolverines prioritize smash football and target talented offensive line in Sherrone Moore’s first off-season as head coach, and a top target for Michigan just included the reigning National Champs in his top 4.
On Saturday afternoon, On3 National recruiting expert Hayes Fawcett reported that Michigan was in the top 4 for four-star 2025 offensive linemen Michael Carroll, along with Penn State, Georgia and Alabama.
On the 247 Composite, Carroll, a native of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, is ranked just outside the top 200 in the 2025 class, along with 11th among interior offensive linemen and eighth among recruits from his home state.
Carroll made an impromptu visit to Michigan this past Fall the day after the Michigan State win, and he got the chance to meet head coach Sherrone Moore and offensive line coach Grant Newsome in a recent spring visit. If the four-star linemen were to commit to Michigan, he’d be the second O-Line commit in the class, joining four-star in-state OL Avery Gach.
Carroll’s interest in Michigan is not a surprise, considering the Wolverines have garnered a reputation as being a place for young offensive linemen to develop into NFL players, all while dominating in the trenches en route to a ton of success over the last three seasons.
“They were completely dominant,” Carroll said about Michigan after that visit. “They were extremely explosive and powerful out of their stances. When I was at Michigan’s camp, that’s one thing coach Moore taught me. Seeing them do it was special. I could see myself fitting in there as a guard.”
Carroll said an interview with The Wolverine last month ($) that Michigan is “up there with Alabama, Georgia and a couple of others right now.” There’s not a clear timeline for when he’ll make a decision, but we’ll keep you updated as his recruitment continues.

Michigan budget plan includes unexpected $235M in extra income
LANSING, Mich. (FOX 2) – It was a boring day for those coming up with Michigan’s next budget – which is exactly how the state treasurer likes it.
It’s “good for forecasting revenues and finalizing a budget,” said Rachael Eubanks.
Eubanks, along with the government’s other top bean counters gathered Friday to work on finalizing the annual budget for Michigan in the upcoming fiscal year.
“Tax collections are strong. Corporate income tax, income tax withholding, and interest earnings are strong. Economic growth and higher wages are leading to higher income tax collections,” said Eubanks during a Zoom meeting.
She said individual spending was up and wage increases were outpacing inflation – both good indicators of a healthy economy.
“Our labor force is at its strongest since 2001,” said Eubanks.
The good news doesn’t stop there. Since last January, the state coffers have grown by $235 million dollars, which state officials were not expecting.
That’s for lawmakers to spend as they compose the new state budget. The process has included criticism from Republicans, specifically from Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt (R-Porter Township) who accused Democrats of “squandering the state’s $9 billion budget surplus on pet projects and corporate handouts in 2023.”
He also claimed the governor had raided the teacher pension fund to pay for her education budget.
While rare, it’s not outside of the possibility the state budget director would take a political shot at any lawmaker. But on Friday, Jen Flood did just that.
“The minority leader has a new found support for teachers and retirees it seems because his votes earlier on in his career cut funding for schools and taxpayers,” she said.
Despite concerns about the financial hit that electric vehicles could impose upon U.S. automakers, the state treasurer didn’t believe it would impact Michigan revenue streams for now.
“I don’t think that’s a troublesome point yet,” Eubanks said. “We’ve seen really strong profit-sharing happen with the major car makers and while there is that potential risk on the horizon, its not something se can see today.
Lawmakers will try to have a finished state budget by the end of June.
