Committing to Michigan McCulley has committed to Michigan for the 2025 season, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.
Impact McCulley wasn't involved in the Hoosiers' passing offense in 2024, and he'll hope to earn a bigger role with the Wolverines in 2025. The senior played in just three games in 2024, but he could remain eligible for 2025 if he redshirts this previous season.

Donaven McCulley No Longer On The Indiana Football Roster Donaven McCulley was considered to be a key player retained from the 2023 roster, but he is no longer with the Hoosiers.

Leaving Bloomington McCulley will enter the transfer portal, Rivals.com reports.
Impact McCulley has barely been involved in Indiana's passing game this season, reeling in just two catches for 21 yards and a score. That's especially curious considering he's coming off a productive year in 2023 in which he posted 48 catches for 644 yards and six touchdowns. The receiver has dealt with head and neck injuries this season, which have limited him to four games. Thus, he can preserve his eligibility and chalk 2024 up as a redshirt season.

Good to go McCulley (neck) will play Saturday against UCLA.
Impact After suffering the injury early in Indiana's Week 1 contest, McCulley will return in Week 3. The senior wideout should provide a boost to Indiana's receiving room. McCulley logged 644 yards and six touchdowns on 48 grabs last year.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Out vs. Western Illinois McCulley (neck) won't play against Western Illinois on Friday night, Michael Niziolek of The Herald-Times reports.
Impact McCulley had to leave Indiana's 31-7 win against FIU after suffering a head or neck injury, and he'll now miss his first full game against the Leathernecks. The senior wide receiver logged one catch for nine yards before his Week 1 departure, and his next chance to see the field will be next Saturday at UCLA.

Day-to-day after head/neck injury McCulley (neck) is considered day-to-day after suffering a head or neck injury in Saturday's 31-7 win against FIU, and head coach Curt Cignetti said, "I think we'll have him back s...
Impact Considering McCulley had to sit out for the rest of Saturday's matchup after going down in the first half, this news is promising for his return. How long "soon" means is still unknown, but the 6-foot-5 wide receiver could be back on the field as soon as Indiana's Friday matchup against Western Illinois. He recorded one grab for nine yards before exiting Saturday's outing.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Exits with neck injury McCulley (neck) was unable to return to the game after suffering a neck injury during Saturday's matchup against FIU, Alec Lasley of HoosierIllustrated.com reports.
Impact After exiting the field during the first half of the encounter, McCulley was not medically cleared to return to the game due to a head/neck injury. Although the severity of the injury has not been disclosed, the team was likely being cautious with their wide receiver and will run further tests before determining if the senior pass-catcher will be required to sit out for any time.
AUGUST 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable to return McCulley (undisclosed) is questionable to return to Indiana's matchup versus FIU on Saturday, Drew Rosenberg of Hoosier Illustrated reports.
Impact McCulley exited the game with an undisclosed injury after catching one pass for nine yards. If he is unable to return to the field, Miles Cross and Andison Coby could see an uptick in playing time.

Eats up 13 targets McCulley caught 11 of 13 targets for 137 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 48-45 overtime defeat to Illinois.
Impact McCulley paced a prolific passing offense for the Hoosiers, as quarterback Brendan Sorsby went 22-for-33 passing for 289 yards and three touchdowns to one interception. The 6-foot-5 junior had more put on his shoulders due to the absence of fellow starting wideout Omar Cooper (undisclosed) while Cam Camper (knee) also missed his first game since being ruled out for the remainder of the season. As a result, McCulley logged season highs in targets and receptions en route to his first 100-yard receiving performance of the season. McCulley has now caught four touchdowns over the past three weeks, tallying 20 receptions on 27 targets for 300 yards over this span. He'll look to keep up this solid production versus Michigan State in Week 12.

Impact McCulley led the Hoosiers' receiving corps across the board for the second week in a row. The 6-foot-5 wideout also made one big play for the second time in as many weeks, as he climbed the ladder for a one-handed seven-yard touchdown catch just before halftime. This score put the Hoosiers up double digits at this point in the game, representing a significant contribution toward this upset win. McCulley has now caught 29 of 48 targets for 387 yards and three scores this season, including nine catches (on 14 targets) for 163 yards and two scores over the last two games. He'll look to keep up his increased production this coming Saturday against Illinois.
