The Michigan Wolverines have extended offers to numerous prospects in recent weeks as they cast a wide net for their upcoming recruiting classes.

Michigan football's defensive line coach is Lou Esposito, who has overseen some of the best defensive line play in Michigan football history as the Wolverines had two players taken in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft.

Earlier this week, Esposito's son Louis shared a pair of big recruiting updates as he announced surprising news.

The native of Saline, Michigan, just outside of Ann Arbor where Michigan plays on Saturdays, could not contain his excitement as big moves happened regarding his future college career.

The younger Esposito revealed that he had been given a three-star ranking on Rivals.com, shortly after he announced he was the recipient of a Michigan Wolverines scholarship offer.

A class of 2027 offensive tackle, Louis Esposito stands 6-feet, 4 inches tall and currently weighs 255 pounds according to Rivals.

He is ranked 31st among all players at his position and tenth in the state of Michigan heading toward his final two high school football seasons.

"It's just a dream come true to be able to say I have a Michigan offer," Esposito said in comments shared to X by recruiting analyst Ethan McDowell of On3.com.

Michigan is currently busy building its Class of 2026, which has four four-star prospects including just one offensive lineman, three-star guard Bear McWhorter.

The Wolverines have an impressive collection of young players in the pipeline at offensive line heading into the 2025 season, but must replenish their roster for future seasons, a task that kicked into high gear with the Esposito announcement.
