All of the best Michigan State football teams over the past decade have had one thing in common: an elite run game with a plus defense. Pat Fitzgerald is trying to replicate that.
The Spartans have pieced together a solid backfield under Fitzgerald, but it looks like it might be adding a future piece in the 2027 class. According to reports, Michigan State was close to adding another talented rusher to its backfield, and it did just that after trending heavily for him this weekend.
If you believed in 247Sports crystal balls, Michigan State landing a 2027 running back from Ohio probably wasn’t a huge surprise to you.
