Michigan DT Willie Henry declares for NFL draft

ANN ARBOR -- Willie Henry's time in Ann Arbor has come to a close.

The 6-foot-3, 311-pound fourth-year junior defensive tackle announced Wednesday night that he'll skip his fifth season and declare for the 2016 NFL draft.

Henry is coming off the finest year of his four-year run in Ann Arbor, as he posted 34 tackles (10 for a loss) and 6 1/2 sacks in 13 games.

"To My Michigan Coaches Teammates and awesome Fans, We've had a long exciting journey together. For the past few years at the University and all of you have been like a second family to me," Henry wrote on Twitter Wednesday night.
