In a brutal turn of events, David Ojabo suffered a torn Achilles during Michigan’s pro day, as first reported by Michael Lombardi. Part of a loaded position group in this draft class, Ojabo was highly regarded and thought to be a top-20 pick by many draftniks—trust me, I asked Erik. And with this happening so close to the finishing line of the pre-draft process, it doesn’t get much worse for a player whose explosive athleticism was one of his most alluring traits.
Dane Brugler of The Athletic suggested on Twitter that Ojabo’s stock will, understandably, take a significant hit due to the nature of the injury, but it won’t result in a “free fall” either.
