Michigan football legend Steve Hutchinson will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame on December 10 in Las Vegas. Hutchinson, a member of the 1997 national championship team, played left guard for the Wolverines from 1997-2000.

Hutchinson arrived at Michigan as a defensive lineman but switched over to the offensive line during his redshirt season, and he would go on to become a unanimous First Team All-America selection in 2000. He started 45-of-47 career games, and the Wolverines compiled a 41-8 overall record and a 27-5 Big Ten mark during his four seasons as a starter. The Big Ten's Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2000, Hutchinson was a finalist for the 2000 Rotary Lombardi Award after being a semifinalist during the 1999 season. He was the Touchdown Club of Columbus Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2000.

Elected team captain as a senior and fifth-year senior, Hutchinson did not allow a sack during his final two seasons at Michigan. He was a two-time first-team All-American in '99 and 2000 and helped protect several prominent Michigan quarterback's blind sides. He played with Brian Griese, Tom Brady, and Drew Henson -- while playing under Hall of Fame coach Lloyd Carr.

Hutchinson went on to become a first-round NFL Draft pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2001. He played with the Seahawks from 2001-05, then with the Minnesota Vikings from 2006-11, and finished his career with the Tennessee Titans in 2012. He is also in the Pro Football Hall of Fame -- class of 2021.
