2. Olu Oluwatimi, Michigan Center

After being named an All-American with Virginia in 2021, Olu Oluwatimi entered the transfer portal and found a new home at Michigan.

In 2022, he was named an All-American again, won both the Rimington and Outland trophies, and led Michigan’s offensive line to their second straight Joe Moore Award. Not bad. Mel Kiper has him as the second-ranked center in the class.

Mock drafts have had him mostly in the second round, with the potential to jump into the back of the first.

Michigan’s offensive success will come down to how well their offensive line plays, and Oluwatimi will be tasked with leading the way. TCU will do everything it can to test him, but if how this season has played out is any indication of what’s to happen, Olu will excel.
