WR Mylan Graham (National Champion, transfer to Notre Dame)

Former Ohio State football transfer has hype growing around his name at his new college home at another major program

Former Ohio State WR Mylan Graham transferred to Notre Dame back in the winter. As we get closer to fall camp, hype continues to grow toward him being a major player for the Irish in 2026.

Mylan Graham noise continues to grow after leaving Ohio State

Graham was a five-star recruit for the Buckeyes in 2024 alongside Jeremiah Smith. However, the two players have had very different college careers to this point. Graham transferred away from Ohio State back in the fall in search of finding playing time, and he’s likely going to find it with Notre Dame.

“The minute Graham arrived in South Bend, he began turning heads,” A to Z Sports’ Ryan Roberts wrote recently. “His quick improvements as a worker in the weight room and on the field caught the attention of those around the program. There was a clear ascension from a work ethic perspective that immediately had folks raving. Then spring practice happened, and that is where the hype train truly took off for the Notre Dame fan base.”

Graham played in four games as a true freshman but didn’t register a catch. Last season, the Indiana native played in nine games, but caught just nine passes for 93 yards. By late in the season former walk-on David Adolph had passed Graham on the depth chart and it was clear his time at Ohio State probably wasn’t going to work out.

Mylan Graham has a chance to finally get going in 2026

It’s not because of a lack of talent, Graham has that and he’s a burner once he gets the ball in his hands. The 6-foot-1 wideout was just behind a very talented bunch in Columbus and finding playing time was going to be tough even as a junior. Graham decided to land with former Buckeye Quincy Porter at Notre Dame, and both should be contributors for the Irish in 2026.

On3’s J.D. placed Notre Dame QB CJ Carr and Graham as the No. 5 QB/WR duo in the country entering the 2026 season. That’s without Graham ever having any real protection and at a new home.

PG Bruce Thornton (All-B1G, All-American, 4X Captain, tOSU all time scoring leader, Houston Rockets)

“He’s Like a Little Bowling Ball Out There”: Bruce Thornton is Already Turning Heads with the Houston Rockets

“He’s a tank,” said Rockets assistant coach Will Dunn, who will serve as head coach of the summer league squad. “You can see it right away. He’s like a little bowling ball out there.

“He’s physical, he’s strong, he’s got a really tight handle. So when you guard him, you’ll feel it, for sure,” he continued. "And that’ll also allow him defensively to do some switching and stuff like that. A guy his size might not normally be able to, but he’s got that physicality, where it will allow him to."

While Thornton has work to do to transition his game to the NBA level, he’s confident he can make an impact as a rookie no matter how much playing time he sees.

"Me just filling in my role at a high level, doing the things they need me to do," Thornton said on draft night of how he wants to contribute for the Rockets. "Impact winning as much as I possibly can and be a great teammate in the locker room."

The Rockets will take part in the Las Vegas Summer League from July 9-19 with four games scheduled: July 10 vs. Denver Nuggets (6:30, ESPN2), July 11 vs. Toronto Raptors (9:30, Prime Video), July 14 vs. Philadelphia 76ers (4:00, Prime Video) and July 16 vs. Brooklyn Nets (4:30, ESPNU).

Thornton hopes to make a name for himself beginning in Summer League, then carry that momentum into the rest of the offseason ahead of his rookie campaign. But no matter where his NBA career goes from here, Thornton knows how blessed he is to be in the position that he's in, something he will never take for granted.

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

So I guess an NBA career is out of the question?
Re: Fraud involving over $500,000 generally carries severe penalties ranging from 2 to 30 years in prison, depending on whether it is prosecuted at the state or federal level. Fines can reach up to $1,000,000, with mandatory restitution for victims

Just sayin': I'll go out on a limb here and say his NBA career is (at least) on hold for betweem 2 to 30 years.

:lol:

Once he did not agree to the 2.75 it was 10:30 at night and they told him he'd be locked out of the building at midnight. He even said if u let me come and celebrate with the players I'll just nod smile and shake hands. They said no it would take away from the celebration...

2028 OH DL Jameer Whyce is a Buckeye!!!

This kid is going to be a consensus 5* and an absolute monster DT for us. Still has plenty more potential to squeeze out and intangibles off the charts. Yikes he's going to be a force.

Even amongst a state full of kids with special powers, Dayton kids are special.
