Youssef Khayat eager to set foot in Ann Arbor
Photo by Carmen Mandato/Getty ImagesA late addition to the Michigan Wolverines’ roster for the 2022-23 season is incoming true freshman forward Youssef Khayat. The 6-foot-9, 195-pounder from Lebanon committed to Juwan Howard and the program earlier this summer, despite never stepping foot in Ann Arbor for any visit.
He has had an interesting journey to college basketball, and he hopped on U-M’s “Defend the Block” podcast this week.
Khayat did this podcast remotely, as he was still in Lebanon. However, two days ago, the Michigan basketball Twitter account tweeted a video of Khayat meeting up with the team during their European trip.
