German Guard Mathieu Grujicic Commits to Ohio State
Ohio State adds to its backcourt and wing depth with the commitment of German guard Mathieu Grujicic.
German Guard Mathieu Grujicic Commits to Ohio State

Grujicic is only 17 years old at the time of his commitment, though he will turn 18 in July. He averaged 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and two assists across 21 games for Barca 2 this past season, which plays in the fourth tier of Spanish professional basketball. He shot 48.5% from the field and 33.6% from 3.
Originally from Berlin, some of Grujicic's greatest accolades this past season came outside his main club. He played one game with Barca's U19 team, but it happened to be the Spanish U19 national championship game, and he posted 20 points to take home MVP honors. In the Adidas Next Generation Tournament this past February and May, he collected three 20-point games across seven appearances, averaging 14.1 points and 3.6 rebounds. He was the MVP of the Ulm qualifiers for that tourney.
Grujicic also earned MVP of FIBA's Basketball Without Borders camp in Europe, which featured 60 top young talents from 25 European countries. He also appeared in three games with FC Barcelona in the top tier of Spanish professional basketball, playing 14 total minutes.

Players to Watch: Mylan Graham looks like more than a Spring Game phenom

Spring Game excellence can be deceiving, but all signs point to the second-year wide receiver starting to blossom.
From now until preseason camp starts in August, Land-Grant Holy Land will be writing articles around a different theme every week. This week is all about the Buckeyes we expect to excel this season. You can catch up on all of the Theme Week content here and all our “Players to Watch” articles here.
Wide receiver Mylan Graham arrived at Ohio State in the summer of 2024, and has quickly built a reputation as a player who will excel at the collegiate level. The sophomore out of New Haven, Indiana didn’t catch a pass last season, but he didn’t have to. The Buckeyes have been loaded at the position, allowing Graham to learn the offense and settle into college life and Mickey Marotti’s weight-training program.
Had Graham been able to enroll early and participate in spring practice in 2024, he might have made a slightly bigger impact, but with Jeremiah Smith, Emeka Egbuka, Carnell Tate, and Brandon Inniss on the squad, Ryan Day had the luxury of slow-playing the freshman in 2024.
A five-star prospect, Graham was ranked as high as the No. 14 overall player and No. 5 wide receiver in last year’s class. He built his reputation with more than 2,000 career receiving yards and 21 touchdowns as a prep player, including 1,149 yards receiving in his junior year to go along with 13 touchdowns on 48 receptions. He averaged more than 80 receiving yards per game his final season.
His 2023 highlight reel shows all the tools, including his speed and ability in the open field.
Graham has the attention of his current and former teammates, and considering the Buckeyes are coming off a national championship, that’s a good indicator that he’s got a bright future. Another positive sign was his performance in the 2025 Ohio State Spring Game, in which Graham caught four passes for 104 yards.
That included a sensational 51-yard touchdown catch and run thrown by Lincoln Kienholz, showing off Graham’s playmaking ability. Only a couple of excellent defensive plays kept Graham from having an even bigger performance on April 12 against his fellow Buckeyes.
Players like NFL-bound former Buckeye cornerback Denzel Burke have been talking about the young receiver as though it’s a matter of when, not if, Graham will become another Zone 6 star under Brian Hartline’s tutelage.
“He could be a great player. He’s quick, good hands, good catch radius, good releases,” Burke said after battling him in practice daily. “I’m excited for him and his future.”
With his first full offseason now under his belt, Graham will enter preseason camp with an opportunity to make his case for snaps in 2025. He will push those ahead of him to be better and could find himself spelling the likes of Tate and Inniss with the first team.
His confidence level will be high after his performance in the Spring Game, and by now he’ll have learned a lot about pre-snap and post-snap reads — often the biggest adjustment receivers have to make between high school and college — from Hartline, Day, and the more veteran receivers on the team.
Graham has the talent and tools to get meaningful snaps in 2025, but even if those entering the fall ahead of him on the depth chart don’t falter, he’ll be one of the first options off the bench.
In a position group where everyone is a player to watch, I’m eager to see how Graham’s career blossoms.
