Saline (Mich.) four-star tight end Dylan Mesman announced his top-10 schools Sunday afternoon. They are Auburn, Cincinnati, Duke, Kentucky, Louisville, Maryland, Michigan State, Minnesota, Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech.

Mesman is the No. 280 overall prospect and No. 16 tight end in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 8 player in Michigan.

The 6-foot-5, 205-pound recruit has taken unofficial visits to two of his finalists. He saw the Spartans on March 17 and April 16 and saw the Golden Gophers on Nov. 19.

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine currently has Michigan State as the heavy favorite to land a commitment from Mesman at 57%.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $12.8K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
