Who is Kenneth Grant? Michigan DT may be available to Bengals at No. 17 in NFL draft
Bengals Beat Podcast: Draft discussion with ESPN’s Jordan Reid
Bengals Beat Reporter Kelsey Conway discusses the NFL Draft with ESPN’s Jordan Reid.
The Cincinnati Bengals have the 17th overall pick in Thursday’s first round of the NFL draft in Green Bay, and Michigan tackle Kenneth Grant could be among the best defensive linemen available.
Grant is one of five players who make sense for the Bengals at No. 17, according to The Enquirer’s Kelsey Conway, who added that Grant’s best trait is his run-stopping ability.
What to know about the 6-foot-4, 331-pound Grant, who played three seasons for the Michigan Wolverines:
Grant was named third-team Associated Press All-American last season.
A second-team all-Big Ten selection, Grant started 12 games in his final season for Michigan, totaling 32 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, three sacks and five pass breakups.
Grant, who is 21 years old, did not play in Michigan’s ReliaQuest Bowl win against Alabama.
In 2023, Grant also was named second-team All-Big Ten. He played in all 15 games and made five starts for the Wolverines’ CFP national championship squad, finishing his second season with 29 tackles, five tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks an interception and six pass breakups.
Grant didn’t participate in on-field drills at the NFL combine because of a hamstring strain.
Grant did take part in Michigan’s Pro Day after the combine, recording a 5.11 40-yard dash, a 31-inch vertical, 8-foot-9-inch broad jump and 27 bench reps at 330 pounds.
“Grant’s game will finally come together in full when he’s able to take his impressive physical attributes and impose his will on opponents,” Lance Zierlein wrote in Grant’s NFL.com draft profile. “Grant is a broad-bodied nose tackle whose tape can run hot and cold depending on the game and the types of blocks he’s facing.”
Grant played both ways as a lineman at Indiana’s Merrillville High School.
As a senior, Grant helped Merrillville to a 12-1 record. Grant also competed in shot put for the school’s track and field team.
After Grant arrived in Ann Arbor, then-Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh called Grant “a gift from the football gods.”
Grant lost about 20 pounds before his sophomore season for the Wolverines, dropping from about 360 to about 340.

It’s ‘stick view’ season at Michigan’s highest scenic drive
EAGLE HARBOR TOWNSHIP, MI – The leaves are falling, but the snow isn’t flying yet: It’s “stick view” season at Michigan’s highest scenic drive.
traces the spine of an ancient fault line as it rises 700 feet above the surface of Lake Superior, ending at the summit where epic fall color stretches in every direction.
The crown jewel of the state’s scenic drives, Brockway Mountain Drive traces the spine of an ancient fault line as it rises 720 feet above the surface of Lake Superior. At the summit, visitors find panoramic views of turbulent Great Lake and surrounding forestland. It’s the tallest scenic drive between the Rocky and Allegheny mountains.
A month ago, epic fall color stretched out in every direction. Today, the color explosion has faded and russet leaves drifted to the ground leaving behind bare trees. Some refer to this time as “stick season.”

The nine-mile route to the plateau is open from May to late fall; specifically, whenever snowfall makes it impassable. At that point, it closes to vehicles and opens to snowmobiles.
Visit Keweenaw makes the argument that the late fall “stick views” are worth the drive.
“As autumn’s leaves return to the earth’s surface, tree lines and outlooks see increased visibility,” said Jesse Weiderhold, managing director of Visit Keweenaw. “Peer through trees that would normally obstruct views for more open views of Lake Superior and the surrounding Keweenaw. See further in forests and enjoy fall’s last triumph before the snow falls.”

Other activities to enjoy at the top of Brockway this time of year include wildlife observation and birdwatching, hiking and biking, and night sky watching.

Michigan State University partially reverses policy on co-ed community bathrooms after complaint
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Michigan State University has partially reversed course on its decision to make all community bathrooms in its honors dorm co-ed, following complaints from students and parents who said the arrangement made them uncomfortable.
Officials placed new signs at Campbell Hall last week to label some bathrooms by gender, a shift that came after a formal complaint and survey results showing unease among residents about a $37.1 million renovation that turned all 20 community bathrooms into unisex facilities.
Parents were not notified beforehand that bathrooms would no longer be separated by gender — prompting at least one student to seek out other facilities, according to a parent’s letter.

The facilities were the first co-ed community bathrooms of their kind at any of the institution’s 27 dorms. MSU said it moved to unisex community bathrooms at Campbell Hall to adapt to a future shift in student populations.
“Following review of the survey data, the decision was made to provide options for students,” MSU spokesperson Kat Cooper said in a statement to Bridge Michigan.
The honors dorm spans four floors and includes 20 shared bathrooms, along with five single-use restrooms. Cooper said she was unsure how many of the community bathrooms will remain unisex and how many will be assigned as male or female.

In an email to Campbell Hall residents, school officials said that bathrooms “will be configured as much as possible to the gender make-up of the community” on the ground and first floors, where there are two community bathrooms, and “gendered bathroom options” on the second and third floors of the dorm, where there are eight community bathrooms, as well as single-use restrooms.
“We wanted to ensure that no room moves were required as part of these changes,” the email reads. “The updates are intended to offer more choice and help residents feel more comfortable in their daily routines.”
Some members of the MSU Board of Trustees said this week that the university made the right call in responding to student and parent feedback.

“I’m happy that the university listens to the concerns of its students,” Trustee Mike Balow said.
“It’s important for our students to feel comfortable and to have options. This is the right move by the university,” Trustee Dennis Denno added.
