Mylan Graham announced his commitment to Ohio State University on April 4, 2023, selecting the Buckeyes as his college destination after a highly competitive recruitment process.[14][15] As a five-star wide receiver prospect, Graham made the public declaration via social media, expressing enthusiasm for joining the program under head coach Ryan Day and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline.[16] In his statement, Graham highlighted Hartline's consistent engagement and passion throughout the recruiting process, noting that the coach's visits to his high school and track record of developing NFL talent were pivotal factors in his decision.[15] Graham's choice of Ohio State came after evaluating offers from several top programs, including Alabama, Auburn, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Indiana, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, and Penn State, which positioned the Buckeyes as one of the finalists alongside Alabama and Tennessee.[14][15] Analysts pointed to Ohio State's renowned wide receiver development pipeline, which has produced four first-round NFL draft picks in the past three years—Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Marvin Harrison Jr.—as a key differentiator that set the program apart from competitors.[14][15] Graham himself emphasized taking "heavy pride" in this pedigree, viewing the competitive environment and expectation of first-round success as aligning perfectly with his goals.[15] On National Signing Day, December 20, 2023, Graham officially signed his National Letter of Intent with Ohio State, solidifying his commitment as part of the Buckeyes' highly touted 2024 recruiting class that also featured fellow five-star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith.[17][18] Following his high school graduation on May 31, 2024, Graham enrolled early at Ohio State for the summer semester, beginning his college career on June 3, 2024, to participate in offseason training and acclimate to the program ahead of the fall season.[15]College Career
Ohio State Tenure
Mylan Graham enrolled at Ohio State University as a summer enrollee in 2024, joining the Buckeyes after completing his senior year of high school basketball in Indiana.[19] This delayed integration meant he had to play catch-up during his freshman year, arriving without the benefit of a full offseason program alongside his classmates.[20] Despite the challenges, Graham quickly adapted to the college level, with teammates like fellow wide receiver Jeremiah Smith praising his potential by calling him "a dog" during preseason discussions in 2025.[21] Coaching staff noted his growth in consistency and physicality as key areas of development during his initial season.[20] During the 2024 season, Graham served primarily as a depth piece on the wide receiver depth chart, contributing in limited rotations as a true freshman behind more established players.[20] His role expanded slightly in the 2025 season, where he saw increased snaps among the younger wide receivers, including notable participation in games that highlighted his emerging presence on the field.[22] Ohio State did not anticipate a major contribution from him early on due to his late arrival, but his progress was evident as he participated in his first full spring practices in 2025, earning positive feedback for making up lost time.[23] Graham reflected on his freshman year as a learning experience, focusing on building toward greater contributions in subsequent seasons.[24] Academically, he committed to the program with an emphasis on both athletic and scholarly pursuits upon signing his national letter of intent in December 2023.[25] Off the field, Graham engaged in team bonding and development programs, including offseason training that emphasized his exponential growth as a receiver.[20]Performance Statistics
Mylan Graham's college performance statistics at Ohio State reflect his development as a wide receiver, with limited production in his first two seasons due to a depth chart featuring established stars. As a true freshman in 2024, Graham appeared in four games but recorded no receptions, yards, or touchdowns, indicating a developmental role early in his career.[26] In his sophomore year of 2025, he saw increased involvement, catching six passes for 93 yards across nine games, averaging 15.5 yards per reception but scoring no touchdowns.[26] These figures highlight his emerging role, though he remained behind teammates like Jeremiah Smith in targets and snaps.[27] The following table summarizes Graham's year-by-year receiving statistics at Ohio State, drawn from official records:| Year | Class | Games Played | Receptions | Receiving Yards | Yards per Reception | Touchdowns |
