Offensive linemen are quite literally “built different.” Michigan’s road graders proved that all year, paving the way for the Wolverines’ dominant rushing attack en route to a national championship.
Luckily for Michigan fans braving the freezing temperatures at today’s championship parade in Ann Arbor, the offensive line’s work didn’t come to an end on Monday. Members of the Wolverines line celebrated their title win in the way only linemen can: shirtless, despite very, very cold weather.
With snow covering buildings along the route, a number of Michigan players made sure to get the full experience.

The undisputed hero of the parade? Three-time All-Big Ten guard Trevor Keegan, who chugged what appears to be a beer along the route while holding the crystal ball from The Coaches’ Trophy, college football’s most famous national championship trophy.
This should be framed in Schembechler Hall forever.

I love you Trevor Keegan. pic.twitter.com/s3JxSujS3C
This is certainly an image that will be etched in Michigan football history, and the Wolverines faithful and others around college football absolutely loved it.

Trevor Keegan brought ALL the energy, but no shirt, to Michigan's national championship parade.

Per MLive, Keegan is eligible to play one more year at Michigan, but many expect the graduate student to depart for the NFL draft after exploring that option a year ago.
His exploits this Saturday probably won’t make their way onto his scouting film, but he proved that he will absolutely be an asset in a team’s potential Super Bowl parade.
