Michigan State football lands commitment of 2026 linebacker from Colorado
Michigan State football has added to the 2026 recruiting class, landing a massive priority target in the first weekend of official visit season.
Englewood (CO) native Braylon Hodge has made his commitment to Michigan State, cancelling his remaining official visits. The Spartans beat out Iowa, Minnesota and Utah for the 6-foot-3, 210 pound linebacker. He is a highly rated 3-star, ranking as an 88-rated player on 247Sports, and the No. 44 linebacker in America.

Hodge has been a rapidly rising prospect in the region, and he almost certainly will be someone that is going to see his stock continue to rise as he continue to show off his ability with his size. Getting him to commit is a massive win for the Spartans.
He is the first defensive commitment for Michigan State in the 2026 recruiting class, and comes at a massive position of need.
