Tweets Of The Day

With the 45th pick in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected Michigan Wolverines football EDGE David Ojabo. He’s the third Wolverine to be selected so far, joining defensive end Aidan Hutchinson (No. 2 overall to the Detroit Lions) and defensive back Daxton Hill (No. 31 to the Cincinnati Bengals).

Ojabo was considered a consensus top-15 pick before tearing his Achilles at Michigan’s pro day in early March, but he only fell this far. He’s expected to miss most of if not all of his would-be rookie season in 2022.

“There’s no question [his name would have been called Thursday night had he not gotten hurt],” ESPN analyst Louis Riddick said on the broadcast.

Still, the former Michigan standout was overtaken with emotion while he received the call from the Ravens that changed his life.

Michigan basketball landed Princeton graduate transfer guard Jaelin Llewellyn Friday. A 6-2 point guard out of Mississauga, Ontario (Canada), Llewellyn averaged 15.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.6 assists last year, shooting 45.1 from the field last season.

Quote Of The Day

“To see him now in round two, if he has to redshirt this year it is well worth it. He is a phenomenal young man and is going to work as hard as anyone on your football team. You cannot coach the instincts he brings off the edge. That’s a knack. He has it despite his inexperience in football. Nobody knows this kid better than Mike Macdonald.”
