Michigan safety German Green officially declared for the 2024 NFL Draft on Sunday evening. He made the announcement in a statement on his Twitter page.

“The past six years have been beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. Each football season holds countless memories made alongside my Wolverine brothers. To end my college career with three Big Ten Championships, two degrees, and a national championship is a blessing from God, for which I am forever grateful.”

“To my family, thank you for your endless support from Texas to Ann Arbor. My greatest accomplishments have come as a result of your belief in me at every level of this sport, giving me the opportunity to join this team and make history. To the entire University of Michigan sports staff, your roles as coaches, trainers, academic counselors, and nutritionists are the pillars of this exceptional program. Finally, thank you to the Michigan Wolverines fans whose overwhelming support is felt in the Big Ten House stadium and stadiums across the country.”

“Forever a Michigan Man,”

“German “Germ2x” Green”

For his career with the Wolverines, Green tallied 12 career tackles in limited action. He is a native of Desoto, Texas.

The three-day event will be broadcasted throughout the weekend on ESPN and NFL Network.

To be eligible for the NFL Draft, players must be at least three years removed from their final year of high school while having used up their collegiate eligibility. Underclassmen are able to request league approval to become eligible for the draft, as are players who have graduated prior to using up all of their collegiate eligibility.

Last season, 69 players were granted special eligibility for the 2023 NFL Draft. 13 underclassmen who had completed their college degrees were also deemed eligible to be selected.

The deadline to declare for the 2024 NFL Draft is on January 15. NFL teams will receive a full list of eligible players in the class on January 19.
