“Going into my final game in The Big House, I just want to say that the University of Michigan has been nothing but helpful to me. I am very delighted I selected the University of Michigan, and the University of Michigan chose me. I’m simply grateful, guy, and delighted. Hopefully, we can finish with a bang.”
