TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Tetairoa McMillan announced in a social media post that he is leaving Tucson and declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft, where he will be projected as a top WR taken off the board.
"Wildcat Nation, this journey has been everything I dreamed of and more," McMillan said. "From the moment I committed to the University of Arizona, to every second spent wearing that Arizona jersey… it’s been an absolute honor."
During his true freshman season in Tucson, McMillian was a promising player. He finished with 39 receptions for 702 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns.
Often called "T-Mac," the wide receiver broke out in the 2023 season. McMillan had 90 receptions for 1,402 yards, fifth-most in the nation, and ten touchdowns in 13 games.
McMillan caught 11 passes for 266 yards and two touchdowns against Arizona State in 2023, setting a new Territorial Cup receiving yards record.
After a similar year in 2024, the projected first-round draft pick declared for the draft.
Noah Fifita, McMillan's high school teammate and college quarterback, has yet to decide where to play in the 2025 season.
KGUN 9 will have more updates throughout the offseason.
