Following the NFL Draft, this article details where undrafted Michigan Wolverines players have signed as free agents. It focuses on kicker Dominic Zvada joining the New York Giants and wide receiver Donaven McCulley signing with the Miami Dolphins, analyzing their potential and past performance.
While the Wolverines did have six players go in the draft, there were several Michigan players who didn't hear their names called. We are going to track the different undrafted free agents and share where they've signed.
Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images Almost as soon as the draft ended, kicker Dominic Zvada and the New York Giants came to an agreement. Jim Harbaugh's brother, John, is the new head coach of the Giants and he wanted to bring Zvada to New York. But which Zvada is the Giants getting? The 2024 Zvada was one of the best kickers in the nation — if not the best.
He set a single-season record at Michigan, making 21-of-22 kickers and made seven field goals of 50-yards or more. He was named an All-American after his stunning year. But 2025 wasn't as good for Zvada. Accuracy was a big issue for the former Arkansas State transfer, and he made just 17-of-25 field goals on the year.
After an All-American season in 2024, Zvada was an honorable All-Big Ten mention this past season. Zvada has the ability to become a starting field goal kicker in the NFL, but it all depends on which player shows up. SARAH PHIPPS/THE OKLAHOMAN / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Once Michigan signed Bryce Underwood, the Wolverines knew they needed to bring big playmakers in for him. Donaven McCulley came to Ann Arbor as a big 6'5" target for Underwood.
He ended up having a few big games, becoming a reliable target, and now he will look to make the Miami Dolphins' roster. McCulley, the former Indiana transfer, caught 39 passes for 588 yards and three touchdowns in his lone season with Michigan. His biggest game came against Wisconsin, where McCulley caught six passes for 112 yards and a score.
McCulley will need to show he can become a vertical threat in the NFL and beat defensive backs down the field. He fits more as a possession wide receiver, and if he can expand his game, he would be a big target in the league. Loading recommendations...
