Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy and running back Blake Corum both declared for the NFL draft on Sunday. The move follows a national championship win over Washington just a week before.

“I have talked to many in and out of football, including my family, Coach Harbaugh, and many who’s opinions I greatly admire and respect,” McCarthy wrote on Instagram. “This decision was not easy and how could it be—I love my teammates, I love my coaches, and I love it here in Ann Arbor.” 

Corum opted to go visual with his announcement and posted a goodbye video after his senior season. The tailback finished his collegiate career with 58 rushing touchdowns and is a two-time All-American. 

Meanwhile, McCarthy finishes his collegiate career after tallying 2,991 yards and 22 touchdowns to just four interceptions in 2023. With both stars departing the program, it will be a very unfamiliar territory for the Wolverines offense in 2024.
