Pat Fitzgerald received his first 2027 commit as Michigan State football coach. This was actually one of his first high school commits as a Spartan head coach, but he did add a few guys to his 2026 class back in December. He'd still like to add Samson Gash, too.
Before we get too ahead of ourselves here, Michigan State landed unranked running back Savior Owens from Massillon, Ohio. That's important because Ohio is a key battleground state for Michigan State recruiting, and it's good to see that Fitzgerald is already focusing on that.
Maybe he got a chance to pick Mark Dantonio's brain.
