Kenneth Grant: DL · Michigan · #78.
Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Kenneth Grant
Wins the gap play after play. The three seasons at Michigan span two head coaches: Jim Harbaugh and Sherrone Moore. That makes two straight seasons on the honors list: All-Big Ten again in 2024. A game that shows it: 4 tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss against Ohio State — Week 14, 2024.
Play style
Stout at the point of attack — steady tackle-for-loss production without a standout pass-rush number.

What the box score actually says
32 tackles. 5 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 6.5 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
