Michigan State now crystal ball favorites for two four-star New Jersey prospects

MSU is the heavy favorite for Audric Estime and Geno VanDeMark

Michigan State football is starting to pick up some momentum on the recruiting trail.

On Sunday the Spartans picked up a commitment from three-star defensive end prospect Alex Okelo out of Nashville–the first Tennessee recruit for the program since 2007.

Now MSU has become an overwhelming favorite for two four-star teammates out of New Jersey–Audric Estime and Geno VanDeMark. The two both visited East Lansing on their own last weekend and have hinted that their recruitments could be winding down. With that the crystal ball predictions have all come in for Michigan State and the previous predictions for Rutgers have gone by the wayside. Prior to just a few weeks ago both Estime and VanDeMark were predicted to stay at home and join Greg Schiano’s staff in Piscataway.

On Rivals both players are now overwhelmingly picked to go green with their commitments. Estime, the No. 205 player in the class of 2021 for Rivals, is predicted by 12 of 17 predictors to choose MSU. All 12 of the MSU predictions have come more recently than the last Rutgers prediction, which was on June 12. Since then five publishers have flipped their pick from the Scarlett Knights to the Spartans. It’s even more overwhelming for VanDeMark with 13 of 16 predictions going to MSU over Rutgers. The last Rutgers pick on him was put in on April 2 and since then five publishers have flipped from Rutgers to MSU.

Neither prospect has set a decision date yet, but news could be coming relatively soon. Both have said they’re finalizing their decisions and many in the recruiting world think they could be committed to MSU before the calendar turns to September.

Michigan State’s 2021 recruiting class currently ranks No. 73 in the country and No. 13 in the Big Ten.

With the fall college football season now canceled, the Michigan State Football coaching staff can now turn their attention to their future incoming recruiting classes. Over the weekend, Michigan State will be hosting multiple prospects, including one player who has already committed to the Spartans. There will be three high school players in town in total, all from New Jersey.

These players are Geno VanDeMark, Audric Estime, and Kevin Wigenton, who is already committed. Michigan State recently picked up Crystal Ball predictions for both VanDeMark and Estime who would be huge lands for Mel Tucker and his staff for the 2021 recruiting class.

Wigenton is a 3-star offensive guard out of Hun School in Princeton, New Jersey while VanDeMark and Estime are both 4-star prospects. Estime is a running back and VanDeMark is an offensive guard. Both players play for St. Joseph Regional High School in Montvale, New Jersey.

It has been a bumpy ride on the recruiting trail for new Michigan State Football head coach Mel Tucker in his first offseason. The Spartans have lost a few high profile targets to conference rivals during this recruiting period, and the team could use a big win. Well, that win could be within reach for MSU, as 2021 4-star running back Audric Estime put Michigan State in his top-6 for his recruitment.

Estime is the No. 18 ranked running back in the 2021 recruiting class according to the 247Sports composite rankings. Michigan State currently has an 80% chance of landing Estime according to the 247Sports projections.

Estime also included Nebraska, Arizona State, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, and Rutgers in his top-6, which you can see below:
