  01/11/23 - DT *Mazi SmithJr/2023, Michigan

  Mazi Smith, the big, physical tackle who commanded plenty of attention from opposing offenses the last couple of years, has decided to leave school and go pro. The Michigan defensive tackle will forego his remaining eligibility and declare for the 2023 NFL Draft, according to a Monday afternoon report from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Smith, a consensus first-team all-Big Ten defensive lineman, has not yet announced announced his decision publicly - but Michigan defensive coordinator Jesse Minter acknowledged the news Monday, writing on social media: "Go be great Mazi!"

The move doesn't come as a big surprise. Asked about his future after Michigan's loss to Texas Christian in the Fiesta Bowl, Smith sounded conflicted and told MLive he needed to solicit advice from his mother. The 6-foot-3, 337-pound Smith posted a career-high season in 2022, totaling 48 tackles (2 1/2 for a loss), half a sack and a forced fumble in 14 starts. He was also named college football's preseason No. 1 "freak" by The Athletic. - Ann Arbor News
