The Michigan Wolverines weren't able to repeat as national champions in 2024 after their majestic triumph in the 2023 College Football Playoff. Don't blame the interior defensive line tandem of Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant.

ANN ARBOR, Michigan (AP) — Michigan defensive lineman Kenneth Grant is skipping his final college season to enter the NFL draft. Grant, a key part of the Wolverines’ 2023 national championship team, announced his decision Thursday on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Grant, a former four-star recruit out of Merrillville, Ind., announced Thursday he will be entering the 2025 NFL draft. He will not play in Michigan's bowl game, the Reliaquest Bowl against Alabama, to focus on preparation for the next level as a projected first-round pick.
