Overview

  • Dare selected Michigan over more than two dozen offers, including Ohio State, Penn State, Oklahoma, Florida State and Florida.
  • At 6-foot-4 and 290 pounds, the Southlake Carroll junior holds a three-star rating and is ranked No. 496 overall and No. 28 among interior linemen by 247Sports Composite.
  • Though he starts at right tackle for Southlake Carroll, Michigan projects him to shift inside on its offensive line.
  • Offensive line coach Grant Newsome spearheaded his recruitment as part of a targeted effort to secure top Texas linemen.
  • Dare joins fellow three-star guard Louis Esposito as the Wolverines’ early commitments in the 2027 cycle, underlining a trenches-first class-building approach.
