Winning in the fall in college football is built through winning on the recruiting trail throughout the calendar year.
Michigan State football is in the midst of another transition period, with new head coach Pat Fitzgerald building out his first full recruiting class. Fitzgerald took over for former head coach Jonathan Smith in December of 2025, and now, he’s out building up the future of Michigan State football through recruiting the 2027 class.
Michigan State is in the midst of the recruiting hot period, with verbal commitments rolling in for the green-and-white. And we expect to see more over the next few months of the summer. So we have you covered at Spartans Wire with our commitment tracker so you can keep an eye on who will be wearing the green-and-white in 2027 and beyond.
