Michigan State signs Texas wide receiver Jaylan Brown

Spartans added a wide receiver from the Lone Star State.

The second and final National Signing Day took place today, putting the bow on recruiting classes across college football. Although most players signed back in December, there are several who waited to officially sign on Wednesday. Standout 2024 Nacogdoches (Texas) High School wide receiver Jaylan Brown, who committed to Michigan State a couple of weeks ago, finally put pen to paper and signed with the Spartans. 

Brown opted for Michigan State over other offers from Washington State and North Texas. He is rated as a three-star recruit by On3, 247Sports and Rivals. 247Sports has him pegged as the No. 60 player in the state of Texas in the 2024 class, a state that traditionally puts out talent at an extremely high level. 

The 6-4, 185-pound pass catcher was the leading receiver for the Nacogdoches Dragons as a senior. In 10 games as a senior, Brown hauled in 55 receptions for 908 yards and 11 touchdowns, averaging a healthy 16.5 yards per reception. The Texas native also recorded an interception on limited reps defensively. 

Heading into the day, Michigan State is currently ranked as the No. 37 overall team in the 247Sports team recruiting rankings. Brown becomes the 19th player to sign with the Spartans in the 2024 class. He is the third wide receiver signee in the class, including four-star Michigan star Nick Marsh and Ohio standout Austin Clay.
