Fitzgerald Locks In Early Michigan State Class as Four‑Star QB and Top OT Sign

Attention now shifts to building a staff, with an offensive coordinator search under way alongside a new athletics fundraising push.

Overview

  • Michigan State closed the early period with 20 signees, adding four‑star offensive tackle Collin Campbell and three‑star cornerback Jeremiah Favorite on Friday after 18 signings on Wednesday.
  • Four‑star quarterback Kayd Coffman made his commitment official on the opening day, giving Pat Fitzgerald a headliner at the position from in state.
  • Not every prior pledge signed this week as four‑star receiver Samson Gash reopened his recruitment, while MSU both flipped additions (OL Jack Ziarko, S Jonathan Granby) and lost commits (EDGE Chris Addison, EDGE Fameitau Siale).
  • Roster churn continues after the coaching change, with players such as running back Makhi Frazier and receiver Nick Marsh entering the transfer portal.
  • Fitzgerald’s next priority is staffing — particularly offensive coordinator — with reported candidate lists circulating but no hire announced, as MSU also launches its $1 billion FOR SPARTA facilities initiative.
