Michigan State football picks up a pair of 2026 crystal balls

MSU received a pair of crystal balls for in state prospects in the 2026 recruiting class

New Michigan State football head coach Jonathan Smith has made it a priority to recruit the state of Michigan, something the last regime neglected.

The efforts of Smith appear to be paying off, landing seven Michigan prospects in 2025 (so far) and now has the Spartans trending for a pair of in-state prospects in 2026.

QB Kayd Coffman of East Kentwood High School, by way of Grand Rapids, received a crystal ball to be the Spartans QB in the 2026 class. Further, Eli Bickel, an offensive lineman from North Branch received the other crystal ball in favor of MSU.

Both pieces would be solid building blocks for MSU to build on to start 2026.

Michigan State football offers 2026 in state quarterback

MSU has extended an offer to an in-state QB in the 2026 recruiting class

While not always the most important recruit in any given class, quarterbacks are by far the most notable players that a team will add in any given recruiting class. For Michigan State’s 2026 recruiting class, Jonathan Smith and offensive coordinator Brian Lindgren are officially keeping tabs on an in-state product.

Kayd Coffman was the most recent recipient of an offer from the Spartans offensive coaching staff. Coffman, a native of  Grand Rapids (MI), attending East Kentwood High, is a 3-star prospect that has shown incredible film during his junior year.

Michigan State is Coffman’s first power conference offer, but that number is surely going to rise in the coming months.
