DETROIT (WNDU) – A homegrown talent from Michiana has found a new home in the NFL after getting picked in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft on Friday night.
Michigan City native Braden Fiske was picked 39th overall by the Los Angeles Rams.
Fiske began his collegiate career at Western Michigan before transferring to Florida State last season. The Michigan City High School alumnus started 30 games in Kalamazoo and had 148 tackles and 13.5 sacks.
At Florida State, the 6′5″ defensive tackle had six sacks and 43 tackles for a Seminole team that was one of the best in the country.
The Los Angeles Rams went 10-7 last season and earned a Wild Card berth into the playoffs, where they lost to the Detroit Lions in the first round.

Chargers News: Jim Harbaugh Drafts Michigan Comrade With No. 69 Pick In Third Round
The Los Angeles Chargers are continuing their youth movement rebrand with their second draft pick of the night.
After trading up to draft Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Ladd McConkey with the No. 34 selection in the second round, the Bolts have opted to stay put in the third.
With the No. 69 pick in the third round, Jim Harbaugh is reuniting with one of his College Football Playoff national champion players, linebacker Junior Colson.
Here’s a highlight reel, via Bleacher Report Gridiron’s official X account:
Colson, 21, was a two-time All-Big Ten Second Teamer during his tenure with Michigan. Last fall, he was honored with the Lott Trophy. Last year during Michigan’s undefeated 15-0 run to the title, the 6’3″, 247-pound Colson recorded 95 total tackles (44 solo, 51 assisted) and two pass deflections.
Colson’s addition marks the third pick by the Bolts thus far, in the first draft of Harbaugh and new general manager Joe Hortiz’s tenure. On Thursday, Los Angeles selected another Big Ten product, Notre Dame Fighting Irish offensive tackle, with the fifth pick in the first round. Together, this initial triumvirate of Alt, McConkey and now Colson represents a tough, resilient, distinctively Harbaugh-flavored start to the draft.
LA is now done drafting for the day (barring any late trades), but has several picks ahead of it when Day 3 of the draft kicks off tomorrow at noon.

Northern Michigan in the meaningful severe weather forecast for weekend
A cold front banging into very warm air could produce a few severe thunderstorms this weekend in Michigan. Right now the most likely area for severe thunderstorms would be northern Michigan.
Saturday will warm into the 70s across all of Lower Michigan, and the humidity will increase. The fuel for a fire of thunderstorms will be present. A cold front will move south across the Upper Peninsula into northern Lower Michigan late Saturday afternoon or evening. As the cold front and cooler air undercuts the warm moist air, thunderstorms will develop across the eastern U.P. and drop south into northern Lower Michigan.
Here’s the radar forecast showing the eastern U.P. and far northern Lower Michigan in late Saturday thunderstorms.
Here are the outlined areas for various forms of severe weather. I would call this a potentially scattered area of severe thunderstorms. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) does have the lowest tornado risk they forecast, two percent, over part of northern Lower Michigan.
The overall risk of any form of severe weather shows you where the strongest thunderstorms are likely. Muskegon, Mount Pleasant, Traverse City to Mackinaw City are in the meaningful risk of severe thunderstorms.
The individual types of severe weather also follow that same shaded area of about the northern half of Lower Michigan. Spotty high wind gusts, isolated large hail and even an isolated tornado is possible Saturday.
The most likely time period for these severe thunderstorms is 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday.
One note from me: I think we need to watch Sunday for another round of severe thunderstorms. There will be a strong and fairly active warm front moving north through Lower Michigan Sunday. Warm fronts can have some very potent thunderstorms develop along them, especially in the heat of the afternoon and evening. A few of our best severe weather models indicate an east-west line of thunderstorms moving northward across Lower Michigan Sunday afternoon and evening. The Storm Prediction Center does not have us in a severe risk late Sunday, but they aren’t perfect. I’ve seen big adjustments to their severe weather area forecasts when the weather in question is two days out.
I’ll keep an eye on Sunday’s weather for you. Check back here through the weekend for updates.
