Over three seasons, Grant has been a key piece for Michigan’s defense by playing in 41 games and totaling 69 tackles. He also had 11.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks, with one of them coming in the National Championship Game against Michael Penix Jr. and the Washington Huskies.
This sack gets more funny every time I watch it. Good luck with Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant AGAIN next year everyone else! pic.twitter.com/G1hSXoFzBq

This season has been arguably Grant’s most impressive with 32 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, three sacks and five pass deflections.
At 6-foot-3 and 339 pounds, Grant not only offers strength and size along the defensive line, but also impressive athleticism and power. Even before this season, Grant’s name populated the first round of many NFL mock drafts. That preseason hype paired with his performance this year and solidified his place as a lucrative pick this spring.
Michigan’s most commanding force this season came from the interior of the defensive line with Grant and Mason Graham, who also declared for the draft and is projected as a first-round pick.
We wish Grant nothing but the very best at the NFL level.
