For the time being, Michigan State football possess a top 25 recruiting class.
Michigan State remained hot on the recruiting trail this weekend, with a few more commitments coming in for the Spartans. That included a pair of commitments on Sunday from three-star edge rusher Fameitau Siale and three-star safety Jordan Vann. Those two additions has pushed Michigan State into the top 25 in a pair of notable recruiting site’s team rankings.
The Spartans are currently listed at No. 25 nationally on 247Sports and No. 24 on Rivals. Michigan State is up to 15 commits for the 2026 class, and currently ranked ahead of notable programs such as Tennessee, Florida, Florida State, Oregon, Michigan, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Auburn and Alabama.
Recruiting rankings are essentially computed based on volume (number of commitments) and quality (rating of said commitments). But the biggest impact for a team’s rankings is quantity of commits, which results in some outliers early in the recruiting process (i.e. Alabama being ranked outside the top 50 currently). Michigan State isn’t necessarily an outlier being ranked this high but it’s something to keep in mind as we sit five months away from the early signing period.
With all of that being said, it’s still notable and impressive to see Michigan State surge up into the top 25 nationally in recruiting since just about a month ago they were in the 60’s range. I anticipate Michigan State’s time in the top 25 to be relatively short-term, but regardless, this is still shaping up to be a pretty darn good class for Jonathan Smith and his staff. So the excitement around Michigan State’s surge in recruiting is definitely warranted and worthy after this recent recruiting heater in June.
