Mason Graham will go down in history as a Michigan legend. The star defensive lineman declared for the 2025 NFL Draft earlier in the week where he is expected to become a top-5 pick, and now Graham is saying his farewell to the Wolverines.

On Saturday, Graham posted a heartfelt message to the Michigan faithful, former head coach Jim Harbaugh and current head coach Sherrone Moore. And while he acknowledged everyone who helped him get to this position, Graham’s best comments included a well-timed dig at Ohio State.

“It has truly been an honor and a dream come true to represent the University of Michigan the past three years, winning 2 Big Ten Championships, the Rose Bowl, the 2024 National Championship,” wrote Graham, “And, of course, slapping Ohio State around not once, not twice, but three straight years.”

With this season’s stunning 13-10 upset of the Buckeyes, Graham will finish his college career 3-0 in The Game. That is truly the stuff of legends.

Entering this season, Graham was already penciled in as one of the best overall prospects for the 2025 Draft. He’s a rare blend of size and athleticism along the defensive interior, and Graham’s ability to shed blocks and use his hands have him poised as a near-lock to be a major contributor at the next level.
