Taking a look at Michigan State football's ten official visitors this weekend
Michigan State football is set to begin the biggest month of the recruiting calendar this weekend, when the Spartans bring in their first group of official visitors.
The official visitor calendar will begin on May 30 and run until June 22, when a dead period begins, giving college coaching staffs four weeks of time to get visits in with their top prospects, and make waves on securing their 2026 recruiting class.
It is imperative that the first crop of visitors are a good one for Jonathan Smith and his staff, in order for the team to gain momentum to carry into the rest of the month's visits.
The first group of visitors for the Spartans has a ton of potential to be strong. With players at several positions of need, the Spartans can make a strong push at addressing key positions in the class.
Check out the 10 visitors that will be on campus this weekend:
4-star TE Eddie Whiting (MSU commit)
Michigan State got a huge recruiting win for Whiting back in January, and now, the Spartans can continue reaffirming and building that relationship with the Sioux Falls, South Dakota native.
