Michigan star defensive lineman Kris Jenkins tells ESPN that he's leaving school early to declare for the NFL draft.

Jenkins proved one of the linchpins of Michigan's championship defense in 2023, as he earned second-team All Big Ten honors and finished the season with 37 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks.

Jenkins is Mel Kiper Jr.'s No. 5 defensive tackle in this draft and projects as a Top 50 pick.
