Mason Graham Commits To Michigan
Michigan's picked up its first commit in the aftermath of the Washington paving:
COMMITTED-This is a blessing from my Lord & Savior! I would like to thank my family and all of my coaches for getting me to this point in my life. I’m extremely excited to be attending The University of Michigan! #GoBlue @CoachJim4UM @CoachNua @BiffPoggi @PlayerProMorgan pic.twitter.com/YM2picNWZp

Graham is a 280-pound DT who was previously committed to Boise State, and he's currently ranked in that territory—#877 on the composite. He appears to be having an excellent senior season but we'll have to see if that translates to a ratings bump. Full post in a bit.
There is no content after the jump.

Welcome to Michigan Mason. Certain other recruits from California take notice and think harder about joining you. Keep up the great work in your senior HS season.
September 16th, 2021 at 12:00 PM ^
Awesome news and Welcome Aboard!
September 16th, 2021 at 12:08 PM ^
Welcome to Michigan, Graham! We've had a few excellent Grahams play football here. Join the distinguished list!
An excellent Mason or two, also!
September 16th, 2021 at 12:10 PM ^
Generally happy to see anyone come in from the Trinity League.
September 16th, 2021 at 7:40 PM ^
Absolutely. It's the best HS football league in the country.
September 16th, 2021 at 12:12 PM ^
NGL, I like the blue top and white pants. Hopefully this kid can wreck house
September 16th, 2021 at 12:14 PM ^
Petition to continue the tradition started by Aiden "Not Steve's Son" Hutchinson and nickname Mason "Not Brandon's Son" Graham.
September 16th, 2021 at 2:59 PM ^
That got me to laugh. I don't watch basketball anymore, just read about it, and for way too long I thought Duncan Robinson was somehow related to either David (The Admiral) Robinson or (somehow) Tim Duncan(??).
September 16th, 2021 at 3:09 PM ^
Couldn't he also be Mason "Not Magnus's son" Graham?
September 16th, 2021 at 12:18 PM ^
i wonder whether this is the silent commit insiders claimed happened after the UW game. ideally not because that means MOAR CROOTS!
September 16th, 2021 at 12:22 PM ^
Just what this team needs. Another cracker
September 16th, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
What makes you think he's a racist Confederate flag waver?
/s
September 16th, 2021 at 12:36 PM ^
So, you can look at his picture and tell he's a racist? What does that make you?
September 17th, 2021 at 11:27 AM ^
Wow. Just . . . Wow.
If his last name was ‘saltine’ or ‘ritz’ would you have gotten the joke then?
September 16th, 2021 at 12:36 PM ^
Just what this board needs, another guy complaining about a 17 year old kid who doesn’t fit his definition of what he should think. How about we let him get 4-5 years of a Michigan education before you throw shade at him??
September 16th, 2021 at 12:55 PM ^
me thinks this was a major whoosh over the head for those complaining... the joke was about his first name, as in "graham cracker"
at least one of the replies had common sense enough to add the "/s"
September 16th, 2021 at 1:10 PM ^
Thanks for explaining what should have been painfully obvious…
September 16th, 2021 at 7:55 PM ^
How do you expect your humor to be deciphered on a message board full of PhD’s, medical doctors, lawyers, engineers, and all around great guy gadabouts???
September 19th, 2021 at 9:52 PM ^
He has a PhD.
September 16th, 2021 at 1:35 PM ^
Oops! My apologies!
September 16th, 2021 at 1:19 PM ^
Dude, its FauxMo, one should generally read his posts for the joking quality first and maybe settle down a bit anyway.
September 16th, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
Welcome!
As an aside to the marketing team (since I presume they helped with the graphic), why would you not make the graphic "GOT 'UM" and make the UM maize or blue and totally hit the double meaning?
September 16th, 2021 at 12:34 PM ^
“Excellent senior season” might be putting it lightly: 12 total tackles, 9 solo, 6 sacks playing DT on the number 9 team in California in 2 games.
GOT DAMN!
September 17th, 2021 at 7:20 PM ^
That's a lot of tackles and sacks for a DT through 2 games! A QB's worst nightmare is pressure up the middle. Would be fantastic if he could translate that to the next level.
September 16th, 2021 at 12:39 PM ^
To date, we have just 3 recruits ranked in the top 300. According to 247, we are ranked no. 17 and our recruiting is virtually on a par with Rutger. And, no, I'm not Maizen, but I sure hope we have lots of diamonds in the rough.
September 16th, 2021 at 12:43 PM ^
Check back in 3 weeks. I believe you will see...Michigan Ascending
September 16th, 2021 at 1:36 PM ^
I have no idea how all these guys would be evaluated otherwise. But covid disruptions mean there's certain to be a lot more noise than usual in player rankings. And that translates to a lot more randomness in how class averages look right now. Probably good advice anyway, but this is an especially good year to chill out and see how guys look when they get on campus.
September 16th, 2021 at 2:24 PM ^
I'm usually willing to trust the coaches evaluations in most cases, but this year seems like one to relax at least a little bit about the rankings given the disruptions.
September 16th, 2021 at 3:54 PM ^
I don't know why this has to be said in every recruiting post but it does. Every recruiting service has thrown in the towel except 247. 247 can't scout everyone. Every school worth a damn scouts better than the recruiting services. Now add covid on top of that. Recruiting rankings mean almost nothing nowadays except for the obvious 5 stars.
February 9th, 2024 at 7:08 PM ^
Yes we did find some diamonds in the rough!! Yes we did...
September 16th, 2021 at 12:40 PM ^
Immediate member of all-time Michigan man all-name team. Go Blue, and congratulations young man!
September 16th, 2021 at 12:43 PM ^
He's got the right number for his name.
September 16th, 2021 at 12:44 PM ^
Thursday‘s Bump Day?
September 16th, 2021 at 1:15 PM ^
Good job Seth or Ace!
September 16th, 2021 at 1:15 PM ^
A big, low ranked, corn-fed lookin' kid with a name that just happens to remind some of us around here of both a Glasgow bro and "Bench"?
Hell yeah, that's worth a flyer!
There's a good chance this guy turns out to be an overachiever. ;)
September 16th, 2021 at 1:20 PM ^
I see his face and I imagine he's the guy ripping off his helmet yelling about how he got held while he just stuffed the RB for a loss.
September 16th, 2021 at 4:00 PM ^
Our Lord and Savior loves Michigan!
September 16th, 2021 at 7:58 PM ^
Well apparently she loves Alabama a whole lot more
September 16th, 2021 at 4:19 PM ^
Nice. Is this design from the athletic department? If so, can they change the stamp in front of the "Got Em" text. Looks like a condom wrapper.
September 16th, 2021 at 6:11 PM ^
Let's go! Finally some DT love.
Grant and Walker...we need you both to join!
September 16th, 2021 at 7:02 PM ^
Just watched Graham's film from the first few games of the season and the most impressive thing is that he's making prime California competition look like they're small town offensive lineman. He's got great jump, motor, and already has some nice pass rush moves. He's also got room to put on more weight
September 16th, 2021 at 7:44 PM ^
I agree - he's got the athleticism we like in DT but also has the frame to play over 300. That's a great combination.
September 17th, 2021 at 10:28 AM ^
280 in jr. year of HS means 300+ in college should we want it made so...
September 16th, 2021 at 7:31 PM ^
Yeah, but can he play DT?
(Is this the right way to do a recruiting post comment?)
September 16th, 2021 at 11:49 PM ^
Boise fan as well as Michigan here. This guy was hugely underrated and Boise was excited to have him. Definitively a candidate for a ratings bump post UM commit.
September 17th, 2021 at 10:27 AM ^
Bring me your big 'uns.
