Coveted OL Zaden Krempin enjoys his visit back to Michigan: 'The OV was great'

Michigan football hosted several high-caliber players this past weekend for 'Victors Weekend'. The Wolverines were hoping to get ahead on several recruitments, including four-star offensive lineman Zaden Krempin. Michigan made Krempin's final four, and the Wolverines had him on campus this past weekend for his final official visit.

Krempin told Trent Knoop of Michigan Wolverines on SI that he enjoyed getting to know the players better and had a chance to connect with more of the 2026 commits. The Wolverines hosted several of their own commits such as OL Bear McWhorter, WR Jaylen Pile, TEs Matt Ludwig and Mason Bonner, and QB Brady Smigiel, on the offensive side of the ball.

"I enjoyed getting to know the players better and spending time with the guys currently committed," Krempin said. "There’s a lot of guys like me that have a ton of great schools between them and Michigan. So I got to ask why they picked Michigan over other schools.

"I loved how simple the OV was. Not a lot of flashy stuff, lights, cars, etc. my parents enjoyed getting to hang out with the coaches as well. Overall the OV was great," Krempin said.
