Michigan football got off of a plane on Thursday and took the practice field for the first time in Florida on Friday, but there was a noticeable absence — running back Kalel Mullings was not there, running drills with the other tailbacks.
Mullings, who was the offensive star of the year, had a huge game against rival Ohio State in the 13-10 upset, and it appears as if that was his last hurrah in a winged helmet.
Taking to social media, Mullings announced that he is officially moving on, meaning The Game was his final game. He has officially declared for the NFL draft, forgoing his final eligible appearance.

Mullings originally came to Ann Arbor in 2020, thought to be the next great Michigan football linebacker. However, as he struggled to see the field, like Hassan Haskins before him, he ultimately switched to the offensive side of the ball, where he ended up thriving.
In 12 games, Mullings finished his final season with the Wolverines with 185 carries for 948 yards and 12 touchdowns.
