Spartans extend official offer to Pitt commit, 4-star RB prospect from Baltimore
Michigan State football has extended an official offer to a top 20 running back in the 2026 class. Damon Ferguson of Baltimore announced on Monday that he's received his official offer from the Spartans. Ferguson is verbally committed to Pitt, but was once strongly considering the Spartans before announcing his commitment to the Panthers in early June. August 1 was the first day for schools to extend official offers to prospects in the 2026 class. Ferguson is a four-star running back prospect, with a recruiting rating of 91.20 in 247Sports' composite system. He ranks as the No. 17 running back and No. 263 overall prospect in 247Sports' composite rankings for the 2026 class. Michigan State was previously prioritizing Ferguson but ultimately came up short in the recruiting battle with Pitt. This latest update of him receiving his official offer from the Spartans could suggest Michigan State is still pursuing him as a priority player, or it, of course, could simply be keeping the door open should he elect to reconsider his commitment to Pitt. Either way, this is a big-time player to keep an eye on as we lead up to signing day in December -- especially since Michigan State still has not landed a verbal commitment from a running back prospect in the 2026 class.

MSU basketball listed among top teams in Big Ten in latest preseason rankings
Today's edition of the ROTHSTEIN 45 is now LIVE following recent 10:1. Purdue2. Houston3. St. John's4. Florida5. Michigan6. UConn7. UCLA8. BYU9. Duke10. Texas TechCC: @FDSportsBook, @ Michigan State basketball remains just outside of the top 20 in the latest preseason rankings from one of the game's top analysts. Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports has released an updated batch of preseason rankings for the 2025-26 college basketball season, and the Spartans remain listed just outside the top 20. Rothstein has the Spartans at No. 21 in his updated version of the rankings that were released on Tuesday. Among Big Ten teams, the Spartans rank No. 5 in Rothstein's list but there is a notable drop off after the top three. He has Purdue (No. 1), Michigan (No. 5) and UCLA (No. 7) all in the top 10, and then next from the Big Ten is Oregon (No. 20) one spot before the Spartans. Michigan State is the reigning Big Ten champs and went the furthest of any team from the league in the NCAA Tournament by reaching the Elite Eight this past season. However, the Spartans have lost a number of key pieces off that highly-successful team, including leading scorers Jase Richardson and Jaden Akins -- so many like Rothstein anticipate a step back from the Spartans next season. As I've said during most of this offseason, I feel like anywhere from No. 15 to No. 25 is about right for the Spartans in next year's preseason poll. I would be quite surprised if they were any higher than No. 15 and shocked if they were unranked when the official preseason polls drop in a few months.
