Not many teams are in a position to troll the national champions. Michigan, however, jumped on a chance to remind Ohio State which side has been dominating The Game.

With the 5th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns selected Wolverine standout defensive lineman Mason Graham. Michigan’s social team could not resist a rivalry dig about a Wolverine heading to the state of Ohio.

Graham can head to Ohio feeling like he owns the state (in a college football sense). Michigan is on a 4-game winning streak in The Game, and Graham played in the last 3 meetings.

This past season, Graham logged a career-high 7 tackles as Michigan stunned Ohio State in Columbus, handing OSU its second loss of the season. Five of the 7 tackles were solo stops against the Buckeyes.

As a sophomore, Graham had 2 tackles, including a 3-yard sack in the 2023 meeting in Ann Arbor. In 2022, as a true freshman, Graham logged 3 tackles in Michigan’s first victory over OSU in Columbus since 2000.

For Buckeye fans who also pull for the Browns, it might be difficult to start rooting for Graham.
