Michigan running back Kalel Mullings announced Friday that he is declaring for the NFL draft.
Mullings has a team-leading 948 yards and 12 rushing touchdowns this season.
Mullings didn’t say in his announcement whether he would play in the ReliaQuest Bowl against Alabama on Dec. 31, but multiple reports said he didn’t travel with the team to Tampa, Fla., on Friday. The school confirmed that Mullings didn’t travel.
“To the University of Michigan, the last five years at this University have shaped me into the man I am today,” Mullings wrote. “I am proud to be an alumnus of the greatest University in the world. I am excited to announce I am officially declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft.”
Mullings starred in his final outing for the Wolverines when he rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown in a 13-10 win over fierce rival Ohio State. It was his fourth 100-yard game of the season.
Michigan’s No. 2 rusher, Donovan Edwards (589 yards), previously opted out of the bowl to prepare for the NFL Draft.
Among the other Wolverines who are opting out of the bowl are defensive tackles Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant, cornerback Will Johnson and tight end Colston Loveland.
