On April 25, Michigan football keeps sending talent to the pros, with Ed rusher, Jason Barham finally hearing his name called in the 20, 26 NFL draft. He went to the Dallas Cowboys at the 92nd overall pick in the third round, making him the third Wolverine off the board after two teammates. Went in round two. Barham had to sweat it out a bit longer than expected, especially after Derek Moore got snatched up first from their shared Baltimore high school. Roots. Moore's selection made sense, but tied in Marlin Klein, sneaking into day two, caught folks off guard. From there, Barham's path was pure grind. He kicked off at Maryland as a linebacker for two years. Transferred to Michigan started right away in. 2024 then shifted to Ed rushing by week three of 2025, where his speed tore up quarterbacks. Now with the Cowboys, who love drafting Michigan guys, think Luke Scootmaker, Mazzie Smith, Jordan Lewis, and Taco Charlton, Barham joins a familiar pipeline, though only Scootmaker still holding it down in Dallas.
Defensive tackle Ray Shombani looks primed to follow as the next Wolverine pick, keeping the Michigan draft for an alive and showing why the programs. Defense stays stacked. Stay locked in with NFL news today, AI-powered updates. I'm Corey with the story.
