Michigan football quote of the day
“There’s no other college football player that can affect every single play like Aidan Hutchinson can. The amount of physicality that he brings, the level of intent, and just really will to make every single play is unmatched. He’s a huge part of our success. I think If the Heisman were to go to the best player in college football, it would be Aidan Hutchinson.”
