Tetairoa McMillan, one of the best wide receivers in Arizona history, will skip his final year of eligibility and enter the 2025 NFL Draft, he announced on social media on Thursday.
Projected as a top-10 draft pick, the 6-foot-5, 212-pound McMillan finished his illustrious career at Arizona with 3,423 receiving yards, breaking the mark set by Bobby Wade (3,351). In three seasons, the Hawaii native also posted the fourth-most catches (213) and third-most touchdowns (26) in school history.
“Wildcat Nation, this journey has been everything I dreamed of and more,” McMillan wrote on Instagram. “From the moment I committed to the University of Arizona, to every second spent wearing that Arizona jersey … it’s been an absolute honor.
“The University of Arizona has provided me with the platform to grow and chase my dreams. … Thank you from the bottom of my heart. To the best fans in the country, I appreciate you for all of the love and support you have given me these last 3 years. I will always be a Wildcat.”
In 2024, McMillan totaled 84 grabs (ninth in Division I) for 1,319 yards (third in Division I) and eight touchdowns for the 4-8 Wildcats. He also ranked third in Division I with 109.9 receiving yards per game.
McMillan is a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, given to the most outstanding receiver in college football.
