Even before Andrew Babalola suffered a season-ending injury, Evan Link was expected to be the Michigan football starting left tackle.
Now, Link will be the guy and the Wolverines, desperately need him to step up. That's especially true since Babalola will be out for the remainder of the season.
The five-star freshman, who is the highest-ranked offensive line signee in program history, was making a case to start as a true freshman. At 6-foot-6, 315 pounds, you couldn't build a better left tackle in a factory.
Now, Babalola will need to rebuild his knee.
