When Donaven McCulley transferred to Michigan, he wasn’t just looking for a new start but a system that would let him thrive.
“Just a new environment and new goals,” McCulley said. “Being able to take my game to the next level and be part of something great.”
That opportunity is now possible thanks to a shift in Michigan’s offensive philosophy. Under new coordinator Chip Lindsey, the Wolverines are looking to be a faster, more vertical passing attack.
“Fast pace—we’re gonna throw the ball down the field,” McCulley said. “That’s his vision.”
McCulley, a former quarterback at Indiana who once threw a touchdown in the Big House, brings a unique understanding of offensive structure and chemistry. His connection with quarterbacks like Bryce Underwood is already growing this spring.
“Being in there with them, making mistakes and big plays—that creates chemistry,” he said.
At 6’5″, McCulley fits Michigan and head coach Sherrone Moore’s new emphasis on size and physicality at receiver. He sees contested catches like rebounds—drawing on his basketball background—and embraces the blocking responsibilities in Michigan’s run game.
“I could make a block and we could score a 70-yard touchdown. That’s gonna make me equally happy,” he said.
Michigan hasn’t had a big-body receiver contribute since Nico Collins in the 2019 season. Moore has made it clear with his comments and recruiting that he wants size on the outside.
McCulley isn’t shy about his goals either: “Be the best Big Ten receiver. 1,000 yards, 10 touchdowns. That’s the standard I hold myself to.”
With a new scheme, a clear role, and renewed energy, McCulley believes Michigan is ready to let its receivers shine.
McCulley could be WR1 for Michigan in 2025.

The odor of marijuana alone isn’t a sufficient reason for police to search a car without a warrant, the Michigan Supreme Court said Wednesday.
In a 5-1 opinion, the court threw out gun charges against a man whose car was searched in Detroit in 2020.
Michigan voters in 2018 legalized the possession and use of small amounts of marijuana by people who are at least 21 years old, though it cannot be used inside a vehicle.
“The smell of marijuana might just as likely indicate that the person is in possession of a legal amount of marijuana, recently used marijuana legally, or was simply in the presence of someone else who used marijuana,” said Justice Megan Cavanagh, writing for the majority.
The smell “no longer constitutes probable cause sufficient to support a search for contraband,” Cavanagh wrote.
Two lower courts had reached the same conclusion.
Elsewhere, the Illinois Supreme Court made a similar ruling last September. That state legalized the possession of marijuana in 2019.
“There are now a myriad of situations where cannabis can be used and possessed, and the smell resulting from that legal use and possession is not indicative of the commission of a criminal offense,” Justice P. Scott Neville Jr. said.
In the Michigan case, the lone dissenter, Justice Brian Zahra, said he favored returning it to a Detroit-area court to determine whether any other evidence supported a search of the car by police.
