Since Jim Harbaugh took the job in Ann Arbor, he’s always had some solid tight ends.
From Mackey Award winner Jake Butt to Pittsburgh Steelers TE Zach Gentry, the Wolverines have managed to put some great blockers/pass catchers on the end of the line into the league.
And now that his career at Michigan is nearing a close, senior Sean McKeon is hoping that he’ll be the next one to get selected in the 2020 NFL Draft. What’s a good way to ensure that?
To play in a premier post-bowl game showcase. And there’s none bigger than the Reese’s Senior Bowl.
As announced by the Reese’s Senior Bowl itself, McKeon will be making his way down to Mobile, as he accepted his invitation to play in the prestigious game.

McKeon played all four-years he was in Ann Arbor, but sparingly his freshman year in 2016. However, he became a co-starter along with Gentry in 2017 and had a starring role in the offense beginning in his sophomore campaign.
He only played in seven games in 2019, however, after an injury sustained at Wisconsin kept him out for the ensuing five games. However, he returned for the Maryland game and one reception for 29 yards, as part of his 13 catches for 235 yards and two touchdowns. Over his career, he managed 60 catches for 668 yards and six touchdowns.
The Reese’s Senior Bowl will take place on January 25, 2020 in Mobile, Alabama.
