HIGH SCHOOL: Graham, a four-star recruit, was rated as the No. 5 player in the state of Michigan by 247Sports, No. 6 by ESPN, No. 8 by Rivals and No. 10 by On3. He was touted as the No. 36 cornerback in the country by 247Sports, No. 41 by ESPN, No. 54 by Rivals and No. 65 by On3.
Graham was a three-phase player who was a threat as a receiver and return man as well as a defensive back. In 2024, he helped Cass Tech go 12-2 (5-1 in league) to rank No. 1 in the state. Graham played a pivotal role in Cass Tech winning the 2024 Detroit Public School League Blue City Championship, the 2024 Division 1 Region 4 Championship and the 2024 Division 1 State Championship. He was named to the 2024 Prep RedZone All-State Championship Defense and the 2024 MHSFCA All-Region First Team. Before the season, he earned placement on the 2024 Prep RedZone Michigan Division I Preseason All-State Defense.

As a sophomore at Cass Tech in 2022, he missed the first seven games of the year due to a hip injury, but still finished with 25 tackles, 6 PBUs and 5 INTs, including 2 pick-6's. Graham helped Technicians to the Michigan Division I playoff semifinals. He was named to the 2022 Metro Detroit Dream Team First Team.
Graham also ran track recording a 10.9 in the 100-meter dash as a junior at IMG Academy. As a youth athlete, he took first in the Boys 10u Triathlon (high jump, shot put, 400) at the AAU Junior Olympic Games in 2017.
