Haywood is considered the 39th-best player per the Composite and he is the No. 6 offensive tackle in the 2025 class. With Haywood in the fold, Michigan now has quarterback Bryce Underwood and fellow offensive tackle Andrew Babalola as the three five-stars. In his first true recruiting class, head coach Sherrone Moore did a great job building the class.
Following Haywood’s commitment, social media reacted and here are some of the best ones.

Last season’s talent gap between Michigan’s roster and the rest of the contenders in CFB was the largest it will ever be under Sherrone Moore (and they still had multiple NFL guys) https://t.co/pkor1OQ0sb

Don’t think you could ask for a better build to #Michigan‘s offense than adding a pair of elite offensive tackles in Andrew Babalola and now Ty Haywood to go along with the nation’s top player in America in quarterback Bryce Underwood.

What an OLine haul for Michigan in this class. One of the best (on paper) since I started covering UM recruiting. https://t.co/8JBzm81YnN
