Ann Arbor — Aidan Hutchinson has heard more than once that his father, Chris, was an All-American defensive lineman at Michigan.

In fact, he has heard it plenty.

“All the time,” Aidan, who played locally for Divine Child, said, laughing.

Like father, son is a defensive lineman at Michigan and already as a freshman has had playing time in all four games. Chris Hutchinson wasn’t the biggest lineman but, as the cliché goes, he played big. His son is a much more monstrous 6-foot-6 and after putting on 15 pounds this summer is up to 268.
