Mikhail, 6-3, 205 pounds, of La Verne, (Calif.) Bonita, already has 17 scholarship offers from schools such as Arkansas, Southern Cal, Oregon, Texas A&M, Washington, Colorado, Arizona, California and others early in the process.
His cousin, Kylie Harris, and her fiancé, Brock Yeager, graduated from Lovejoy High School in Lucas, Texas, before making their way to Arkansas, where they will be seniors this fall. Makhail said both talk up the people, Fayetteville and the school.
“I obviously have my cousin down there and her fiancé is down there and ever since the recruiting picked up they’ve always been big fans of how beautiful Fayetteville is and how beautiful Arkansas is,” Makhail said.
