Ann Arbor, MI (SportsNetwork.com) – Michigan wide receiver Devin Funchess announced Tuesday that he will forgo his senior season and declare for the 2015 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
Funchess, considered a possible first-round pick by a number of scouting services due to his 6-foot-5, 230-pound frame and potential to be used as a wide receiver\/tight end hybrid player, finished third in the Big Ten with 62 catches this past season. The 20-year-old also led the Wolverines in receiving yards (733) and touchdown catches (four) in 2014.<\/p>\n
“I would like to thank my family, coaches and teammates for their support,” said Funchess. “It’s always been a dream of mine to play in the NFL, and I am prepared to take the next step in my journey.”<\/p>\n
Over 37 career games with the Wolverines, Funchess amassed 126 receptions for 1,715 yards with 15 touchdowns. A second-team All-Big Ten selection as a junior, he also earned the conference’s Kwalick-Clark Tight End of the Year award in 2013 after putting up 727 yards and six touchdowns on 47 catches that season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
