Michigan wide receiver Donaven McCulley is one of the most intriguing late-round wideout prospects in the 2026 NFL draft class.
A former four-star quarterback commit to Indiana, McCulley was the crown jewel of the Hoosiers’ 2021 class. After struggling as a true freshman, he switched positions and quickly began to flourish. In 2023, he posted a 48-catch, 644-yard, six-touchdown campaign for the lowly Hoosiers that quickly captured the imagination of offensive coordinators across the country. After sorting through eligibility issues in 2024, he finally arrived in Ann Arbor in 2025.
Last season, McCulley flashed as a big-bodied possession receiver whom true freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood could trust. McCulley hauled in 39 balls for 588 yards and three touchdowns for the Wolverines, and also led all players at the Senior Bowl with four receptions for 50 yards.

McCulley is going to hear his name called in the 2026 NFL Draft because of the unknown upside. Day Three is all about taking swings on potential and McCulley is nothing if not oozing with untapped potential.
At nearly 6-foot-5, McCulley has a skill that you can’t teach or develop — size. Coaches want their wide receiver room to look like a basketball team, and the vision for McCulley to play as a rangy, above-the-rim power forward is easy to see. With strong hands and an ability to either settle into space or box out defenders, the former quarterback knows how to make himself available and bring home any ball in his vicinity.
He has numerous deficiencies in his game, but the majority can be viewed as pre-catch developmental issues that stem from inexperience and coaching failures. McCulley will be knocked for top-end speed, but if he can improve his route-running and pace distribution, those details will overcome any perceived weakness as a vertical threat.
McCulley embraces the dirty work as a blocker and is unafraid of working over the middle in tight windows. This tenacity could afford a special teams role while he competes for a rotational role at wide receiver.
