Michigan State football the first Power 5 team to offer 2024 CB Mikey Crawford

Michigan State is the first team to offer 2024 CB Mikey Crawford

Under Mel Tucker, Michigan State football has shown a propensity for going after players right before they blow up on the recruiting trail, often being the first school to offer some young talents around the league.

That was the case this week as the Spartans offered Mikey Crawford, a rising cornerback in the 2024 recruiting class out of Pittsburgh Pioneer. WIth the offer, the Spartans will also have Crawford on campus for a visit soon, with that visit already locked in.

Michigan State football cracks top ten in 247Sports recruiting rankings following recent flurry of commitments

Michigan State football firmly in top-10 of 247Sports 2023 recruiting rankings after recent commitments

After another flurry of 4-star commitments, Mel Tucker and Michigan State football have finally cracked the top ten in 2023 recruiting team rankings from 247Sports.

Now, MSU sits firmly inside of the top-10 on the 247Sports rankings. With the 247Sports team rankings, they aggregate the total combined score of every recruit, instead of giving you an average, so it does give more favoritism to teams that have a large number of recruits, but that score is weighted based on the level of recruit committed.

You can see the full rankings below.

Wayne is predicted to go to Miami by 247Sports but their confidence level is only a 1 out of 10, so not exactly a ringing endorsement for the Hurricanes.

Michigan State basketball offers 2023 4-star small forward Scotty Middleton

Michigan State has offered a top-50 player in the 2023 class out of Sunrise Christian Academy

Michigan State basketball has entered their hat in the ring for the recruitment of Scotty Middleton, a top-50 prospect and 4-star small forward out of Sunrise Christian Academy in Wichita, Kansas.

If Sunrise Christian Academy sounds familiar, it’s because Spartan alum Tum Tum Nairn went there and currently coaches their post-graduate team, and current Spartan Malik Hall also attended Sunrise Christian.

Middleton is the No. 8 ranked small forward in his class by 247Sports and their No. 42 ranked player overall for his class.

Michigan State football offers the top wide receiver in 2024 recruiting class

Michigan State football offers the top wide receiver in 2024 recruiting class

Mel Tucker has already done a remarkable job during his tenure with Michigan State football, but he has yet to land the ‘big one’ on the recruiting trail, AKA a 5-star recruit. Tucker is clearly looking to change that soon, with multiple 5-stars recently talking about offers or conversations they’ve had with the Spartans.

The latest 5-star is Jeremiah Smith, the top ranked receiver in the 2024 class who posted on Twitter on Monday night that he just received an offer from MSU.

Smith is a 5-star recruit in the 2024 and the top ranked wide receiver in that class by 247Sports. He’s currently projected to go to Ohio State but also has interest from many of the other top schools in the country. Smith currently plays for Chaminade-Madonna Prep in Florida.

Brown is the No. 1 ranked player in New York by 247Sports and their No. 131 ranked player overall.
