Mason Graham, a defensive lineman for the Michigan Wolverines, has formally declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, but not before making one more attempt against Ohio State, Michigan’s long-time nemesis. Graham, who has excelled on Michigan’s defence, announced his decision on Instagram and thanked the people and organisations who supported him, including as Coach Harbaugh, Coach Moore, and his teammates.
Fans, however, were drawn to his parting remarks: “Representing the University of Michigan for the past three years has been an absolute honour and a dream come true. We have won two Big 10 titles, the Rose Bowl, the 2024 National Championship, and, of course, we have dominated Ohio State for three years in a row.”
Graham acknowledged the major turning points in his career while also highlighting the Wolverines’ superiority over their fiercest opponent, including a light-hearted poke at Ohio State. He concluded his message with a passionate statement.
It’s time to formally declare for the 2025 NFL Draft and begin a new path. #GoBlue forever.
Following an outstanding collegiate career in which he played a key role in Michigan’s defensive efforts, including their successful 2023 season that culminated in a national championship victory, Graham has decided to depart Ann Arbour. Graham’s final remarks reveal that he is departing with a great deal of pride in his collegiate achievements, even though Michigan loses a vital member of its defensive line with his departure. Michigan supporters, who are celebrating three consecutive wins against the Buckeyes, will undoubtedly find resonance in his mocking of Ohio State. As he gets ready for the NFL Draft, Graham will now concentrate on the next phase of his football career.
