FEBRUARY 2023 THE WOLVERINE 63 MICHIGAN IN THE PROS "We came together, man, we were just having fun out there, and it showed," Hutchinson told the NBC broadcast. "This fan base is going crazy right now." Hutchinson was credited by Wolver- ines head man Jim Harbaugh for lead- ing a culture shift heading into the 2021 season, before U-M won the Big Ten for the first time since 2004. Under sec- ond-year Lions head man Dan Camp- bell, Hutchinson, though just a rookie, played a big role. "It's the culture of grit," Hutchinson said. "He's been here for two years now, and it's starting to be ingrained in all the guys that are here. We show it every time we come out here."
