Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, the projected No. 1 selection in the 2022 NFL draft, announced Wednesday that he will be leaving the Wolverines' program to turn pro.
Hutchinson was the Heisman Trophy runner-up in 2021, becoming the third defensive player to finish second in the history of the award. He was also a consensus All-American, and the Lombardi Award winner, which is given to the top lineman in the nation.
"My Michigan legacy is complete, and it was truly the best time of my life," Hutchinson said in a statement posted to Twitter on Wednesday.
