Michigan football has announced that it will hold its spring game April 19 at The Big House. The scrimmage will kick off at noon ET and be broadcast on Big Ten Network. The presenting sponsor is DTE.

Michigan has eight players that received invites to the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine: running back Donovan Edwards, running back Kalel Mullings, tight end Colston Loveland, offensive tackle Myles Hinton, defensive tackle Mason Graham, defensive tackle Kenneth Grant, EDGE Josaiah Stewart and cornerback Will Johnson.

Last year, Michigan saw 13 of its former players get drafted, a program record. It also set a program mark with seven top-100 picks. The Wolverines had 66 selections in nine years under former head coach Jim Harbaugh, and this will be the first draft class sent to the NFL under current head man Sherrone Moore.

Michigan has had eight or more NFL Draft picks in nine different drafts, including four in the last five years: 2024, 2023, 2021, 2020, 2017, 1975, 1974, 1972 and 1948.

It’s important to note that there are more NFL Scouting Combine invites (329) than draft picks this April (257), so not all of the invitees will be selected.

Michigan has a mixture of juniors who enrolled early and fourth- and fifth-year seniors who are out of eligibility. Loveland, Graham, Grant and Johnson are four juniors who are widely regarded as potential first-round NFL Draft picks.

In fact, ESPN.com analyst Mel Kiper Jr. recently listed three of them in his top 25 overall prospects list — Graham (No. 3), Johnson (No. 9) and Loveland (No. 13). Grant, meanwhile, checked in as the third-best defensive tackle on the board.

On3 host J.D. PicKell believes Michigan freshman quarterback could be an All-Big Ten player in his first season.

Quote Of The Day

“It’s such a prestigious program. I’ve watched them for a while, and I love how they utilize offensive linemen, especially in heavy formations. I like how they present themselves as a running team.”
