BURSTTUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona star receiver Tetairoa McMillan has declared for the NFL draft following three stellar seasons.
McMillan announced his decision Thursday on Instagram.
“Now, it’s time to take the next step. … I’m officially declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft,” McMillan posted. “This is only the beginning.”
McMillan was one of the highest-rated recruits in Arizona history when he arrived in Tucson in 2022 and immediately started putting up big numbers. The 6-foot-5 junior from Southern California — by way of Hawaii — led all freshmen nationally with 39 catches for 702 yards and eight touchdowns.
McMillan had another strong season in 2023 and was named an Associated Press preseason All-American this year. He continued to produce even as the Wildcats struggled, finishing top five nationally with 84 catches and 1,319 yards receiving to earn first-team AP all-Big 12 honours.
McMillian is Arizona’s all-time leader in receiving yards, finishing with 3,423 in three seasons, and is projected to be a first-round NFL draft pick.
