Michigan football had dipped into Lawndale (Calif.) Leuzinger in 2022 and managed to secure the commitment of edge rusher Kevonte Henry, a four-star prospect. However, on signing day, Henry decommitted flipping to Oklahoma after there were rumors that he’d follow Courtney Morgan to Washington.
Now the Wolverines are looking back to the West Coast high school with hopes to reel in another player and keep them this time.
Considering the 2026 class is not yet ranked, Blake Graham, an interior offensive lineman from Leuzinger, hasn’t become a household name in college football recruiting just yet. He had three offers — Louisville, Miami, and Nevada, but Michigan football came calling on Wednesday, extending an offer to the 6-foot-3, 280-pound prospect.

But that wasn’t all.
The Wolverines also extended an offer to his teammate, 6-foot-4, 230-pound linebacker Samu Moala, as well.

Moala’s offer sheet is a little more impressive, already boasting offers from Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, MSU, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oregon, Tennessee, USC, Utah, Washington, and others.
