Early life[edit]

Graham is the son of Thomas Graham Sr. and Tamisha Graham.[1] He initially attended Roosevelt High School in Corona, California, then transferred to Rancho Cucamonga High SchoolinRancho Cucamonga, California.[1] He was recruited by multiple college football programs, including Notre Dame and Nebraska, before committing to USC in July 2015.[1] The following summer, Graham de-committed from USC.[1] In December 2016, Graham committed to Oregon through the efforts of that program's then-head coach, Willie Taggart.[1]

College career[edit]

As a freshman in 2017, Graham started 12 of the Ducks' 13 games, recording 49 solo tackles and three interceptions.[2] In his 2018 sophomore season, he had 47 solo tackles and three interceptions.[2] As a junior in 2019, he again had 47 solo tackles, along with two interceptions, one coming in the 2020 Rose Bowl.[2] Overall at Oregon, Graham appeared in 40 games while registering 143 solo tackles, 39 assisted tackles, eight interceptions, and one forced fumble.[3]

In September 2020, with the Pac-12 Conference football season seemingly canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Graham opted out of his senior season with Oregon and declared for the 2021 NFL Draft.[4] In November, Graham accepted an invitation to play in the January 2021 edition of the Senior Bowl.[5]
