Former Michigan tight end Colston Loveland is an NFL Draft prospect projected to go in the first round. Instead of attending the event in Green Bay, he’ll hold festivities in his hometown of Gooding, Idaho, he revealed on the ‘In The Trenches’ podcast with host Jon Jansen.

“It’s gonna be a good time,” Loveland said. “So, I’m doing it back home in Gooding, Idaho. I got the first little draft portion that’ll be at my house with my family, and then after there will be a little after party that I invited the whole town, to, really. They can all go watch and celebrate [at] the country club. It’s the biggest space that we have.”

Loveland described what his hometown is like.

“It’s 3,500 people there — straight farmland, fields, cows, horses,” Loveland said. “Everyone knows everyone. You walk down the street, you’ll probably know everyone you see.”

New Michigan wide receiver Donaven McCulley — an Indiana transfer — met with the media Wednesday and discusses his t-shirt that the team has that says “team / me.” (Team over me).

“The team comes first,” McCulley said. “We’re not worried about accolades and stuff like that. We want to win, and that’s the bottom line.”

Michigan women’s lacrosse picked up a 17-5 win over Eastern Michigan Wednesday.

Quote Of The Day

“It was a rare occasion where he wasn’t the toughest guy on the court. And just the energy and effort he expended to rebound was something that was notable from day one. I actually saw some of it in high school, but in a lot of instances he was just incredibly so far advanced past his opponents that you took it for granted the fact that he was putting up 20 and 10 on the regular in high school. But as a freshman in college, he didn’t back down from the physicality. It helps that he came in with a college-ready body, that [strength and conditioning coach] Adam Fletcher sort of fine tuned this year. But more than the physicality is just he went to the glass. There are the angles as a rebounder and boxing out, but when it comes down to it, you just have to go get the ball — and he went and got the ball.”
