Top 50 prospect and blue-chip offensive tackle Ty Haywood signed with Michigan on Wednesday.

Haywood, out of Ryan High School in Denton, Texas, was the top remaining uncommitted recruit in the Class of 2025 after decommitting from Alabama last month. He is rated the 39th best prospect in the class and sixth-best offensive tackle, according to the 247Sports composite. ESPN rates Haywood the 16th best prospect.

The 247Sports composite ranks Haywood as a four-star prospect; ESPN gives him five stars.

The 6-foot-5 Haywood chose the Wolverines over Florida State, Texas A&M and Oklahoma among 33 offers.

He rates as the second-best prospect in Michigan’s class behind 5-star quarterback Bryce Underwood.

His commitment gives Michigan the sixth-best class, according to the 247Sports composite.

“We all have the same mindset of winning,” Haywood told ESPN. “We’re going to go in and do what we’re supposed to do. But we’re also going to have fun with this process and this next chapter of life. I’m ready to go dominate, win games and make it a fun time in our lives.”

While most players sign with teams during the early signing period in December, Haywood chose to wait until Wednesday, which is the traditional National Signing Day.
