Mason Cole certainly understands where his Michigan career has gone, a four-year starter about to tie a record for program starts, but when he said it out loud, even he had to laugh.
Cole, a co-captain and starting left tackle, will make his final start for the Wolverines on New Year’s Day in the Outback Bowl in Tampa, not far from where he grew up in Tarpon Springs, Fla.
“Kinda of my whole career, that’s the only thing that kinda crossed my mind was getting to the next game and preparing for the next game and it just kinda worked out for me,” Cole said recently.
