He was recently listed as one of the top athletic freaks in the nation, but his name didn't make an appearance on the ESPN, CBS and Sporting News Preseason All-America teams.
On Wednesday, ESPN, CBS Sports, and Sporting News all released their preseason All-America teams. It didn't come as much of a surprise to see Mason Graham , Will Johnson , and Colston Loveland all appear on the first-team unit. All three guys are expected to be the top players at their respective positions in 2024, and all three are projected to be first-round selections in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Although Mason Graham gets plenty of attention as part of Michigan's defensive front , many view Kenneth Grant as a guy who is just as capable of taking over a game defensively. In fact,by the Atlanta Falcons in their latest mock draft, highlighting just how highly he's thought of by those who are paying attention.At 6-3, 340 pounds, Grant is an absolute menace in the middle of the Michigan defense.
"His ability to fly up Michigan's reactive plyo stairs test, a series of seven 26-inch-high stairs that players attempt to jump up as fast as possible, is truly freakish. This offseason, Grant pressed a 115-pound dumbbell 34 times on his right and 27 times on his left. He vertical-jumped 29 inches and did a Turkish get-up with a 150-pound dumbbell."
While you'd certainly like to see Grant get the attention he deserves, the reality is that preseason awards and accolades essentially mean nothing. Given how critical he is to Michigan's success defensively, Grant have plenty of opportunities to make his case when it matters most on fall Saturdays.
