A Michigan State football targeted wide receiver prospect is heading to another Big Ten school.
Xavier Stinson of Vero Beach, Fla. announced his commitment to UCLA on Monday. Stinson made his commitment known via a post on his social media X account.
Stinson is a three-star prospect with a recruiting rating of 87 on 247Sports. He ranks as the No. 118 wide receiver prospect in 247Sports’ rankings for the 2026 class.
Stinson was scheduled to visit Michigan State this upcoming weekend. His commitment to the Bruins comes after he took an official visit to UCLA this past weekend. He was also strongly considering NC State, and held notable offers from Indiana, Arkansas, Memphis, Pitt, UCF, Vanderbilt and West Virginia.
Michigan State is trending in the right direction for another three-star wide receiver prospect in Zachary Washington. So this commitment from Stinson could be related to that move or a number of the other wide receiver prospects Michigan State is currently pursuing. It also could simply be the Bruins beating out the Spartans for this prospect.
