UM's Ojemudia headed to Ravens as free agent

Former Michigan defensive lineman Mario Ojemudia has agreed to a free-agent deal with the Ravens.

Ojemedia, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in the Wolverines' Big Ten season opener at Maryland, did not get medical redshirt and ended his collegiate career to enter the NFL draft.

He went undrafted this weekend, though Mel Kiper Jr. said the 6-foot-3, 249-pound has a chance to be a really good player at the next level.

“Mario Ojemudia is a defensive end who showed a lot of promise before he got hurt,” Kiper said. “Before that I thought he looked like a third- or fourth-round pick. He’s a kid to watch, could get lost in the shuffle. (He) showed NFL ability. I think he could get (drafted) late if the medical is OK or be a priority free agent. I thought he was the kind of kid who flew way under the radar because he got hurt. I would say an underrated guy, he would be in that group as a kid who had his season cut short but definitely has NFL ability.”

The Ravens are coached by Jim Harbaugh's brother, John Harbaugh.
