At the end of the second day of the NFL Draft, West Virginia’s Wyatt Milum got his name called and his dream finally came true. Milum was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday night with the No. 89 pick in the third round of the NFL Draft.
Milum was considered one of the top interior offensive linemen in this year’s class. Pro Football Focus graded his overall run blocking with a grade of 89.2 and also had a zone blocking grade of 90.0, which is the best in this year’s class.
In 2024, PFF graded Milum with a 91.7 pass-blocking grade and an 89.7 as a run blocker, which was good for fourth in the country, as he was named as a consensus All-American. Milum has not allowed a sack since the 2022 season.
Milum was named a First Team All-American by the AFCA, Walter Camp, FWAA, and the Sporting News and a fifth team All-American by the Associated Press, as well as being named the Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year.
As a four-star recruit out of Spring Valley High School in the 2025 recruiting class, the Kenowa, West Virginia native started 43 games at both left and right tackle at WVU but projects potentially as a guard in the NFL.
