Illinois edge rusher Darin Graham is catching the attention of college football scouts, and for good reason. The Mount Carmel High School standout from Chicago is set to visit Michigan State on April 18, marking an important step in his recruitment journey.
Standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing 218 pounds, Graham might not have a rating yet, but he's certainly making waves. Despite Michigan State not having extended an offer yet, Graham has already garnered interest from several Power Four programs. Kansas State, Kentucky, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Purdue, and Georgia Tech have all put offers on the table in recent weeks.
This visit to Michigan State could be pivotal. While the Spartans haven't made an official offer, the buzz surrounding Graham suggests that it might only be a matter of time. His visit could very well tip the scales, leading to an offer from Michigan State either before or shortly after his trip.
For Michigan State, keeping an eye on Graham’s development and recruitment progress is crucial. As he continues to attract attention from top programs, the Spartans will need to decide if they want to join the growing list of schools eager to have him on their roster.
