UPDATED: Tracking all of Michigan State’s 2024 commits
Mel Tucker is out. Jonathan Smith is in. This all happened during a critical time of the 2024 recruiting cycle and now Michigan State football needs to solidify that class.
Some players will fall out, new names will join, and it will continue to be a mad dash and scramble as MSU tries to fight to bring a strong recruiting class into the first year of the Jonathan Smith era.
Buckle up as we track every recruit confirmed in the 2024 class below.

MSU’s DB coach Harlon Barnett and CB coach Jim Salgado did a very good job with MSU’s DB class in 2024:
Michigan State saw some change in their defensive back coaching this offseason, adding Jim Salgado as cornerbacks coach to assist with Harlon Barnett. With that change came a new spark in defensive back recruiting, along with new prospects showing up on the board, and no matter how you look at it, Salgado and Barnett hit a home run this June.
The Spartans were able to secure commitments from 4 defensive backs, while solidifying the commitment of Tennessee 4-star Jaylen Thompson.
Ultimately, it can be said that the defensive backfield recruiting has been outstanding for MSU and the Spartans may be finished with that position group in 2024.
Check out who the five members are, and who could be added as a 6th member:

Three-star wide receiver/cornerback Syair Torrence has received a scholarship offer from Michigan. Torrence has been committed to Michigan State since late June.
Torrence hails from Syracuse, N.Y. and is listed as the No. 688 overall prospect in 247Sports’ composite rankings for the 2024 class. He’s also ranked as the No. 4 player from New York.
Michigan and Michigan State will often battle for prospects so this is no different. But it is intriguing to see Torrence get an offer after already committing to Michigan State. This will be something to monitor moving forward.
