UPDATE: Another Wolverine Declaring For NFL

Fifth-year senior tight end Luke Schoonmaker saved his best season at Michigan for his last, finishing the year with 418 yards and three touchdowns on 35 receptions - good for No. 2 on the team. While the COVID season provided Schoonmaker with the opportunity to return for a sixth year, the 6-6, 250 pound talented tight end has opted to enter the 2023 NFL Draft. 

According to ESPN, multiple NFL scouts have projected Schoonmaker as a second-round pick, highlighting his ability to be a threat in multiple facets of the game.

"Coach [Jim] Harbaugh and a lot of the offensive coaches have given me the confidence that I'm ready for the next level, and I've developed into a complete tight end," Schoonmaker told ESPN. "I'm at that point where I can now begin the process for the next level. With that guidance and the guidance of others, it's that time."

Here's a look at some of Schoonmakers notable accomplishments during his time at the University of Michigan, via MGoBlue.com:
