3-star wide receiver Jaelen Smith signs NLI with Michigan State football

This has been a whirlwind week for Michigan State football, as the Spartans have added a flurry of commitments from 2023 recruits and transfers over the past week. Last night, they received a commitment from 3-star wide receiver Jaelen Smith, and this morning, he signed his national letter of intent during the early signing period, presumably locking in that commitment.

Smith is the No. 73 ranked wide receiver by 247Sports, but many are saying that his film looks much better than his ranking.

MSU football recruiting is fine: Ten recruits who could be added to the 2023 recruiting class

There are a lot of concerns with MSU’s 2023 recruiting class; it’s time for a deep breath. Here are ten recruits that MSU could add to their class before signing day:

There has been a lot of chatter amongst the social media sphere around the state of MSU’s 2023 recruiting class following the departures of Colton Hood and Johnathan Slack. While decommitments are never fun, I am here to do my best Aaron Rodgers impression for the Spartan fan base.

R-E-A-L-A-X.

While being at only 10 commitments is not something the staff wanted to be at, there is still a week until signing day and A LOT is going on behind the scenes.

By the conclusion of the early signing period, I expect Michigan State to get to at least 15 commitments/signees, at a bare minimum.

So the Michigan State fanbase needs to take one collective deep breathe, and strap in for the recruiting ride they are about to go on.

Here are ten prospects Michigan State is firmly in the mix for and could become part of the class:
