Michigan center Cesar Ruiz will forgo his final season of eligibility to enter the NFL Draft.
Ruiz announced his decision on social media Friday.
“Since the day I touched a football I knew I wanted to play in the National Football League,” Ruiz wrote. “It’s always been my dream, and now I am ready to make my dream a reality.”
Ruiz made five starts at right guard his freshman season before becoming a two-year starter at center.
He appeared in 35 games in his three seasons, making 30 career starts. He earned second-team All-Big Ten from the coaches this season after they moved him third team in 2018.
