Three-star outside linebacker Jared Badie of Oswego, Ill. is going to take an official visit to Michigan State, according to Jason Killop of Rivals.

Killop reported on Monday morning that Badie has “locked” in an official visit to Michigan State for the last weekend in June. Badie reportedly also has official visits planned with Illinois, Minnesota and Texas Tech.

Badie — who is listed at 6-foot-4 and 202 pounds — is ranked as the No. 14 prospect in Illinois and No. 47 outside linebacker nationally by Rivals.

Badie currently holds scholarship offers from 15 programs, including Michigan State, Illinois, Minnesota, Texas Tech, Indiana, Arizona State, Iowa State, Nebraska, Purdue, Louisville and Tennessee.

The Spartans offered Badie just last month so this is great to see Michigan State is already making an impact by locking in an official visit. Keep an eye on this prospect and if the Spartans can beat out a number of fellow power five schools for Badie.
