Another key player from Michigan football's 2022-23 Big Ten Championship team has declared for the NFL draft.
Luke Schoonmaker, a 6-foot-6, 255-pound tight end, will forego his final year of collegiate eligibility, a program spokesman confirmed to the Free Press. The fifth-year senior was expected to be primarily a pass-blocking tight end entering the season, but after captain Erick All aggravated his back injury, Schoonmaker was thrust into action.
He performed admirably in his increased role, finishing second on the team in receptions (35) and third in receiving yards (418) to go with three touchdowns all of which were career bests despite missing three games with a shoulder injury.
