Michigan has one final shot at poaching top-ranked Ohio State target

This weekend, the Michigan Wolverines’ football program will be hosting a number of major recruits. Among those expected to be in Ann Arbor is a four-star Ohio State target Mylan Graham, who is currently a long shot for Jim Harbaugh to land. This weekend will likely be Michigan’s final chance to steal Graham from Ohio State’s grasp.

Michigan has final shot at Ohio State target Mylan Graham

Mylan Graham is a pretty big name in the 2024 recruiting cycle. He is a 6-1, 170-pound wide receiver from New Haven High School in New Haven, IN. As a midwestern prospect it makes sense that his top-3 schools (according to On3) are all in the Midwest: Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Michigan football. Of these schools, the Buckeyes have the best chance to land Graham, and frankly, it’s not all that close — OSU has a 90.8% chance of getting Graham to commit all said and done.

Still, the young Ohio State target is expected to be in Ann Arbor on a recruiting visit this weekend, it will be his second visit with the Wolverines — his first visit came on January 29th of this year. He has also visited with Notre Dame three times and Ohio State five times.

Graham is ranked as the No. 12 player in the 2024 class, the No. 3 receiver, and the No. 1 player in the state of Indiana. It would be massive for Michigan football’s recruiting efforts to somehow flip him this weekend, though things are not looking great thus far. Still, the Wolverines likely have one final shot (this weekend’s visit) to change Graham’s mind about heading to Columbus.
