Washington State OT Fa’alili Fa’amoe sets Michigan football visit

Thus far, Michigan football has been interested in interior prospects along the offensive line as it peruses the transfer portal.

Though commit Brady Norton played outside at Cal Poly, his previous school, he likely projects more inside. Northwestern transfer Josh Thompson (who is still undecided) is also an interior lineman.

On Thursday, another target was revealed: Washington State tackle Fa’alili Fa’amoe, a 2020 prospect looking for a new home. According to 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz, not only is there mutual interest between Michigan and Fa’amoe, but he has set up a visit to Ann Arbor to see what the Wolverines have to offer after he concludes a visit to LSU.

Ex-Washington State star offensive tackle Fa’alili Fa’amoe, the top-ranked available offensive tackle in the transfer portal, has locked in a visit with Michigan, a source tells @CBSSports/@247Sports.

Is currently on his way to his LSU visit. Will visit Michigan next after that.… https://t.co/A5JwwEddsh pic.twitter.com/48PUeNoNJ0

Here is how Fa’amoe ranks according to the transfer portal rankings:

With Myles Hinton moving on, the Wolverines don’t have an obvious heir apparent at both tackle spots — especially with Andrew Gentry opting to transfer. If Michigan can get a transfer for one side, there’s the possibility it could roll with Andrew Sprague at tackle on the other and move Evan Link inside. Any scenario also depends on who the maize and blue end up getting in the portal.
