Wyatt Milum made something everyone already knew official on Thursday by declaring for the NFL Draft. He thanked his family, coaches and teammates in a long post on social media.

“To my coaches, thank you for always pushing me to be the best player I can be. Thank you for turning an 18-year-old kid into a man. I was blessed to have you as my coaches. Coach (Neal) Brown, thank you for giving a kid from a small town in West Virginia, a chance to live out his dream and play college football,” said Milum.

“Through the ups and downs, we always stuck together. I’m grateful to call my teammates my family and brothers. With that, I’ll be declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft. Go Mountaineers,” he continued.

Milum wrapped up his college career in 2024 as one of the highest graded offensive lineman in the country.

According to Pro Football Focus, Milum earned a 91.7 pass blocking grade and a 89.7 as a run blocker, the fourth-highest in the country. Milum’s overall mark of 91.0 was the third best.

And for his work, Milum was honored as a consensus All-American.

Milum earned first-team honors on four of the five teams — Walter Camp, AFCA, FWAA and Sporting News — and was a second-team All-American on the fifth team, Associated Press.

Milum was also named the Big 12 Conference Offensive Lineman of the Year this season and was named first-team All-Big 12.

Hailing from Kenova, W.Va., Milum came to WVU from Spring Valley High School in 2021. He started 43 games over the next four years, eventually transitioning from right tackle to left tackle and developing into one of the top pass protectors in the nation.

Milum did not allow a sack in either 2023 or 2024 and has not allowed a sack in 34 of his last 36 games. This season, Milum did not allow a quarterback hurry and gave up only seven pressures.
