Mylan Graham, a talented receiver from Ohio State, has made a bold move by committing to Notre Dame via the NCAA transfer portal. This decision comes after two seasons with the Buckeyes, where he played a limited role, appearing in four games and taking a redshirt. Despite his modest contributions, Graham's potential is undeniable, especially considering his impressive high school career.
Prior to his college career, Graham was a highly sought-after prospect, ranked as the No. 39 overall recruit in the 2024 class and a four-star prospect according to the Rivals Industry Rankings. He was also the No. 9 receiver in his class and the top-rated player from his state, New Haven, Indiana. Graham's high school achievements are impressive, with over 2,000 receiving yards and 21 touchdowns in 24 games, averaging nearly 24.0 yards per catch.
His transition to college football has been a bit more challenging. Graham played a small role in 2025, behind some of the country's top receivers, and finished the year with nine appearances, logging six catches for 93 yards. However, his potential to fill a need at Notre Dame is significant.
The addition of Mylan Graham is crucial as it helps address the loss of potential at the position due to transfers. Notre Dame's receiver Antavious Richardson, a true freshman in 2025, has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Richardson, a highly-rated four-star recruit, was the No. 7 overall ATH in his class and the No. 285 player overall. He transitioned to wide receiver in college but didn't see any playing time in the 2025 season.
The intrigue surrounding Richardson's future is heightened by his versatility. Before college, he lined up at the quarterback position in high school, and while he didn't play at all in 2025, he has the potential to be a wildcard at both wide receiver and cornerback. This ambiguity in his role adds to the excitement surrounding his potential contribution to Notre Dame's football team.
