The best interior lineman in college football now has his first NFL home.
Olusegun Oluwatimi, the former Michigan football center, was drafted No. 154 overall by the Seattle Seahawks in the fifth round of the NFL draft. The pick came minutes after Seattle selected fellow Wolverine Mike Morris with the 151st pick.
Oluwatimi transferred from Virginia and spent just one season in Ann Arbor, but his impact in anchoring the Joe Moore Award winning offensive line was as significant as any aspect of Michigan's journey back to Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff.
"I definitely feel I could've made the jump (to the NFL) last year, but we don't know if I would've got drafted," Oluwatimi told a group of reporters in Schembechler hall last month.
