Huskers offer rising class of 2027 quarterback
Nebraska football extended an offer to class of 2027 quarterback Keegan Croucher over the weekend. He made the announcement on social media.
According to the 247Sports Rankings, Croucher is the 48th-ranked recruit nationally and the sixth-ranked quarterback in the 2027 class.
He has had a storied football career to this point. During the fall of 2023, he threw for 2,957 yards, 31 touchdowns, and three interceptions. He then transferred to Cheshire Academy in April 2024.
The quarterback has offers from the likes of Indiana, Michigan State, Ole Miss, Minnesota, and Michigan. Most recently, he was offered by Michigan State on March 19, prior to being offered by Nebraska.
Currently, the 2027 Nebraska football recruiting class has no commitments in it. However, there are currently four quarterbacks on the roster for the Huskers. The program is also doing its homework on signal-caller Trae Taylor. They seem to want to make quarterback a priority position in the class and are doing their homework.
Croucher could be a difficult quarterback to land, given that so many teams have an interest. It will be interesting to see where the Huskers fall with this recruitment.

Spartans Win Big Ten Recruiting Battle Over Iowa With 3-Star EDGE Cory House

Spartans Win Big Ten Recruiting Battle Over Iowa With 3-Star EDGE Cory House originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After visiting Michigan State on May 30 and Iowa on June 5, the Spartans picked up edge Cory House as their 10th 2026 recruit. The 3-star and No. 68 edge recruit in the country from Memphis, TN, declared his commitment on June 10. Rush ends coach Chad Wilts, who ultimately was credited as the primary recruiter, first gave House an offer back in February. However, the 6'5, 240-pound edge was wanted at 28 schools across the country, including 12 power conference schools. Advertisement Initially, House intended to visit Indiana and North Carolina as well. Ole Miss was also a contender for the Whitehaven High School edge. Michigan State head coach Jonathan Smith looks on during practiceNick King/Lansing State Journal/USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Before the official visit season started, the Spartans had only four class of 2026 recruits all on the offensive side of the ball: quarterback Kayd Coffman, tight end Joey Caudill, tight end Eddie Whiting, and offensive tackle Eli Bickel. House now marks Michigan State's sixth consecutive defensive addition for the class of 2026 alongside safety Brayden Thomas, cornerback K.J. Deriso, safety Elijah Caldwell-Hardy, linebacker Braylon Hodge, and defensive tackle Chris Knauls. Advertisement Thomas, Deriso, and Hodge were also part of the first group of visitors. Thomas first committed to Iowa State on February 1. On May 31, one day after his official visit, the Ohio native hinted at flipping his decision before verbally committing to Michigan State on June 2. Despite upping the numbers, the Spartans are still pulling together more of a lackluster recruitment class with No. 295 overall Coffman being the only commit in the top 550 overall. Currently Michigan State's recruitment is ranked 44th in the country, falling well behind its Big Ten rivals in the top 20 overall: USC (No. 1), Ohio State (No. 2), Penn State (No. 5), Rutgers (No. 9), Illinois (No. 12), UCLA (No. 14), Minnesota (No. 18), and Washington (No. 20). While the Spartans bumped from No. 57 to No. 44, being on the weaker end of recruitment will force head coach Jonathan Smith to rely on returners making leaps heading into his second year if he's unable to secure high-end recruits.

Michigan State football falls out of the running for 3-star New Jersey cornerback

Michigan State football falls out of the running for 3-star New Jersey cornerback Michigan State football has been on the hunt, pursuing a cornerback from Oradell (NJ) Bergen Catholic in Xavier Jackson. The 3-star cornerback has been a top priority for the Spartans, with a commitment date on the horizon. Unfortunately for MSU, the pursuit of Jackson is off of the table, and now the team is going to be forced in going into a new direction. Jackson has announced that he has canceled his official visit to East Lansing for this weekend, and instead, he will be visiting North Carolina. This comes on the heels of official visits to Minnesota and Pittsburgh. This puts MSU in sort of a particular spot, not having a cornerback due to visit over the next two weekends, meaning that the Spartans will most likely identify new prospects in the coming day.

Fans speculate Carson Cooper is working on new part of game following recent social media post

Fans speculate Carson Cooper is working on new part of game following recent social media post Could Michigan State big man Carson Cooper be working on adding a new element to his game this offseason? Fans are speculating that to be the case following a recent photo shared by the Spartans' official social media account. Michigan State basketball is conducting offseason workouts this week, which obviously led to a few social media posts from the program's official X account. Included in one of those posts was a picture that shows Cooper lining up for a shot from behind the three-point line. This single image has generated some buzz on social media, with multiple fans responding with speculation that Cooper is working on developing a three-point shot this offseason. You can see the post from Michigan State showing what appears to be Cooper preparing for a three-point shot below: Could this be something or is it nothing? Well, this picture alone is probably nothing since every basketball player practices shots from all over the floor. So this could simply be a pure coincidence that the social media team picked a picture of Cooper in this one instance. But, it's definitely more fun and intriguing to speculate that this is the beginning of a new part of Cooper's game. You can't argue against that. For reference, Cooper has recorded only one three-point attempt in his three previous seasons at Michigan State -- which he missed this past year. So should he actually add a more frequent three-point shot to his game, that would be quite the change from what we have previously seen. For now, we can back-burner this thought. But when we get our first look at the Spartans in the fall, this will be something I personally will keep an eye out for when Cooper and Michigan State take the court for the first time.
