2 Michigan players pull out of Senior Bowl as 2024 NFL draft syndrome catches heat in college football

The Senior Bowl has taken a hit as two Michigan Wolverines players have pulled out.

Senior Bowl executive Jim Nagy revealed that cornerback Mike Sainristil and linebacker Mike Barrett, both of Michigan, have withdrawn from the Senior Bowl.

According to Nagy, Sainristil withdrew on his own decision, while Barrett cited draft prep injury.

Mike Sainristil played four years at Michigan and finished last season with 44 tackles, six pass defenses, two sacks, two forced fumbles and six interceptions. He had an interception in the national championship game, which helped lead the Wolverines to the win.

Sainristil is projected to be a third-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

Mike Barrett, meanwhile, played five seasons at Michigan. He recorded 65 tackles, three sacks and three forced fumbles last year. Barrett is projected to be a sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
