Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant (21) declared for the 2025 NFL Draft after three years with the Wolverines.

Grant was a third-team All-American this past season while also earning second-team All-Big Ten honours. He put up 32 tackles with three sacks over 12 games this season. His five pass deflections were the most among Michigan defensive linemen.

"I am very appreciative to Coach (Jim) Harbaugh and coach (Sherrone) Moore and the rest of the University of Michigan staff that I have crossed paths with," said Grant. "It has been an honor to be developed into a Michigan Man."

Grant is the 19th overall prospect on Mel Kiper's board and the fourth-highest-rated defensive lineman coming into the draft.

Defensive line teammate Mason Graham will be joining Grant in the draft as will cornerback Will Johnson and tight end Colston Loveland. Grant was part of the Michigan squad that won a national title in 2023.

This season, the Wolverines went 7-5 and missed the College Football Playoffs. They'll take on Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl on December 31st.
