A product of Glencoe, Illinois, Danny Wolf's meteoric rise through college hoops began long before his days at Michigan.

After making waves at Northfield Mount Hermon in Gill, Massachusetts, Wolf committed to Yale as a three-star recruit.

Playing two seasons with the Bulldogs, Wolf earned first-team All-Ivy League honors and an Ivy League Tournament MVP, ending the 2023-24 season averaging 14.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per game while shooting better than 34% from deep.

In April 2024, he decided to take his talents to Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Now, after just one long season with the Wolverines, Danny Wolf has announced he will forgo his remaining eligibility and declare for the 2025 NBA Draft.

Michigan’s standout 7-footer helped guide Michigan to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament and earned him Second-Team All-Big Ten honors.

Wolf started in all 37 games with the Wolverines, averaging 13.2 points, a team-best 9.7 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game, catching the eyes of NBA scouts and draft analysts.

Throughout the season, Wolf’s unique skill set, combining the size and presence of a 7-footer with remarkable guard-like playmaking abilities, sparked conversations around the nation.

Despite a few areas for improvement, including his free-throw shooting and turnover mitigation, his impact on the court was undeniable.

Now, he's ready to showcase his diverse skillset on the NBA level.

Analysts project him as a secure first-round pick, with many mock drafts hovering around the 20th to 25th overall selection.
