Aidan Hutchinson, the projected No. 1 selection in the 2022 NFL draft, announced Wednesday that he will be leaving Michigan to turn pro.

Hutchinson was the Heisman Trophy runner-up in 2021.

"My Michigan legacy is complete, and it was truly the best time of my life," Hutchinson said in a statement posted to Twitter on Wednesday. "Onward and upward to the 2022 NFL draft. Thank you for everything, Wolverine nation and beyond."

In 2021, Hutchinson recorded 62 total tackles, including 16.5 tackles for loss, and 14 sacks, which was a Michigan record for a single season. 

Hutchinson passed Oregon Ducks DE Kayvon Thibodeaux for the No. 1 overall position in the latest draft rankings by ESPN analysts Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay.
