‘He has all the tools’: Ryan Day is excited about a player who could end up being a breakout star for the Buckeyes in 2025

Ohio State has been a wide receiver factory under Brian Hartline coaching the position in Columbus and there is no sign of that slowing down.
Jeremiah Smith burst onto the scene last year as a true freshman and he looks to be the best of a slew of players that have come through at the position m in Columbus. Meanwhile, the Buckeyes are going to have another wideout drafted in the first round of the NFL draft later this month when Emeka Egbuka hears his name called.
One player who isn’t talked about much in Columbus yet is Mylan Graham, who is a former five-star recruit who could break out for the Buckeyes in 2025. Graham looked the part at the spring game breaking 100 yards receiving on four catches, including this big catch and run below.
Graham was not an early enrollee so it took a bit longer for him to catch up and he didn’t catch any passes as a true freshman. That will change in 2025 when Graham has a chance to be the No. 3 or No. 4 receiver for the Buckeyes.
"He's another guy who just needs to play football,” head coach Ryan Day said after the spring game. “His route running is excellent, his athleticism is excellent, and his attention to detail is excellent. I think he has a bright future here. He knows what he has to work on, but he has all the tools to be the next great one [at Ohio State]."
Graham is a 6-foot-1, 185-pound wideout who brings speed and superb route running to the field. The Indiana native is one of the wideouts ready to take a step forward now that he has a year under his belt. Smith and Carnell Twte are the top two wideouts in the room and Brandon Inniss is pushing for that third spot. Graham is battling to see the field as well.
Not every newcomer can hit the ground running in a big way like Smith did last year. It took Marvin Harrison Jr. a bit to get going and Emeka Egbuka wasn’t a star his first season either.
Graham was a household name in the recruiting world and there’s a great chance college football fans soon know his name.
