OT LaDarius Henderson

Michigan football won the Joe Moore Award during the 2022 season for having the best offensive line in college football. It was the second year in a row that the Wolverines won the award.

However, winning it a third time is going to take some work. Michigan football will have to replace starting left tackle Ryan Hayes, as well as starting center and Rimington award winner Olu Oluwatimi.

However, when it comes to the left tackle position, Michigan was able to make one of the most underrated additions in the transfer portal by landing former Arizona State starter LaDarius Henderson.

Henderson could play guard or tackle for the Wolverines, but he played tackle last season for Arizona State. He’s not on campus yet due to some academic things being finished at ASU, but he’ll be joining Michigan football this summer and there’s a good chance he’s one of the five starters U-M trots out next fall in the opener against East Carolina.

And by season’s end, Michigan football fans are going to look at Henderson as one of the most important transfer additions for the 2023 season.
