Mark Donahue graduated in 1978 with an education degree and is currently the regional vice president of sales at Anthem BCBS. A two-time All-America offensive guard (1976-77) and two-time All-Big Ten first team selection, he was drafted in the 11th round of the 1978 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals. Before playing two seasons in Cincinnati, Donahue helped U-M to a 38-7 record, including a 28-4 mark in conference play. During that span, the Wolverines won the Big Ten title in 1974, 1976 and 1977. U-M played in two Rose Bowl games and the 1976 Orange Bowl, and the Wolverines finished in the national top 10 all four years. In three seasons, Donahue started 35 games for the Wolverines. He finished his career ranked second all-time for starts by an offensive lineman and now ranks 12th.
