“Michigan Offensive Linemen Make History at Championship Parade: Shirtless Celebration in Freezing Temperatures”
Offensive linemen embody the phrase “built different” in a very literal sense. Throughout the entire season, Michigan’s formidable linemen demonstrated their prowess, creating paths for the Wolverines’ dominant rushing attack that ultimately led them to a national championship. Even as Michigan fans endured freezing temperatures during today’s championship parade in Ann Arbor, the hard work of the offensive line extended beyond Monday.
In a celebration that only linemen could pull off, members of the Wolverines offensive line marked their title victory in a unique way: shirtless, braving the exceptionally cold weather. Despite the snow-draped buildings lining the parade route, several Michigan players were determined to embrace the full experience of their championship celebration.

Taking center stage as the unequivocal hero of the parade was Trevor Keegan, a three-time All-Big Ten guard. Along the route, he was spotted enthusiastically consuming what seems to be a beer, all while proudly clutching the crystal ball from The Coaches’ Trophy—the most renowned trophy in college football, symbolizing the national championship.
This should be framed in Schembechler Hall forever.
I love you Trevor Keegan. pic.twitter.com/s3JxSujS3C

Keegan has one more eligible year to play at Michigan, yet numerous anticipations suggest that the graduate student might opt for the NFL draft, considering he explored that avenue a year ago. While his Saturday festivities may not make it onto his scouting film, they undeniably showcase his potential as a valuable addition to a team, especially in the context of a potential Super Bowl parade.
