After three successful years with Michigan, tight end Colston Loveland is off to the professional ranks.

Loveland formally announced that he would be entering the NFL draft in a Friday afternoon Instagram post. The Washington-born, Idaho-raised tight end is widely expected to be one of the first tight ends off the board come April.

"As I embark on this next chapter of my career, I will forever carry a part of this university with me and continue to represent Michigan with pride," Loveland wrote. "Go Blue!"

Following a 2022 season where he caught 16 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns, Loveland broke out in 2023. He registered a career-high 649 yards on 45 catches for four touchdowns, helping the Wolverines win the national title.

Injuries limited Loveland a bit in 2024, but he did catch seven passes for a career-high 112 yards in Michigan's 38–17 loss to No. 1 Oregon on Nov. 2.

His versatility beyond the box score, however, should make whichever team takes him in April very happy.
