Draft Profile: Bio
The son of former NFL running back Earnest Graham, Myles was coached early by his father at Evangelical Christian School before transferring to Woodward Academy and then Buchholz in his hometown of Gainesville. Rivals rated him a five-star and the No. 1 linebacker in the 2024 class.He made an immediate impact, playing all thirteen games as a true freshman in 2024 and earning Freshman All-SEC honors with 30 tackles, a sack, an interception and a forced fumble.
Graham became a full-time starter as a sophomore in 2025, leading the team with 58 tackles while adding 36 run stops, four pass breakups and two sacks. He posted two breakups in a strong outing against LSU and stayed around the ball even against Georgia. He led the Gators in tackles in 2025 and added eight quarterback hurries, carrying the bloodlines of a father who spent six NFL seasons in the backfield.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Carries the profile against the run as a downhill trigger
- Posted thirty-six run stops and fifty-eight tackles across the year
- Stoned Ole Miss for six stops and seven tackles in one game
- Times his blitz to add pass-rush juice from the second level
- Broke up four passes, flashing some playmaking in coverage
- Fills downhill with instincts inherited from an NFL bloodline
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Lags in coverage, giving up too much in space
- Light at 228 pounds against downhill power between the tackles
- Missed ten tackles, a finish issue to clean up
- Eyes can be manipulated by play-action and misdirection
Scouting Report: Summary
Graham is a downhill off-ball linebacker whose the run defense carries the profile, an instinctive trigger who posted thirty-six stops and fifty-eight tackles and stoned Ole Miss for six stops and seven tackles. He blitzes with timing to add pass-rush juice and broke up four passes, flashing some playmaking. The run-game instincts and the production are real, and the bloodlines as the son of an NFL back show in how he plays the position.The coverage and the frame are the holdups. His cover reps come and go and gives up too much in space, at 228 pounds he can be moved by downhill power between the tackles, and he missed ten tackles. His eyes can be manipulated by play-action and misdirection, and he is more instinctive against the run than fluid in coverage right now. He is a run-down asset whose pass-defense reps and play strength need to develop.
The fit is a downhill linebacker who defends the run and blitzes, with coverage the clear development area, a two-down starter now with three-down upside if the space coverage rounds out. The frame and the coverage cap the present grade, but the trigger and the production are bankable. He grades as a Day 3 linebacker with starter upside, an ascending sophomore-age player with room to climb.
