Recruiting Story
This is an interesting one. A Michigan State legacy and son of MSU radio color commentator Jason Strayhorn, it appeared that the progeny would end up in East Lansing when Mel Tucker was the coach. However, when Jonathan Smith took over, the Spartans didn’t recruit Strayhorn, opening up the door for the Wolverines. Ohio State and some other big schools were involved but ultimately, Strayhorn ended up at his father’s biggest rival.
Readiness Level
Likely a year two-to-four contributor due to the depth ahead of him.
Notes
- Committed June 23, 2024
- Got his start at Novi (Mich.) Catholic Central
Scouting report
The scouting report from 247Sports’ Andrew Ivins:
Technically advanced interior offensive line prospect that could very well find himself snapping the football on Saturdays. Under 6-foot-3, but believed to tipping the scales at just over 285 pounds and should only continue to add some good mass in the coming years. Plays with a favorable pad level for his age and will win more times than not by simply gaining leverage on opponents as his upper and lower halves frequently sing to the same tune. Deployed primarily at right tackle as a senior for an IMG Academy program that is known for its o-line development. Had his moments protecting the corner, but should find more success in pass sets when he’s not asked to cover a ton of turf. Projects as a potential multi-year starter at the Power Four level based on what he has put on tape over the years. Ceiling might be highest as a center with his instincts and aggression.
