Michigan State football offers 3-star North Carolina RB Jamal Rule Michigan State football has identified another running back prospect they'd like to add to their 2026 class. Jamal Rule of Charlotte announced on Monday that he's received an offer from the Spartans. Rule made the Michigan State offer known by posting on his social media X account. Rule is a three-star running back prospect in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports. He holds a recruiting rating of 87.26 and is ranked as the No. 46 running back in 247Sports' composite rankings for the 2026 class. Michigan State is one of nearly 15 schools to offer Rule, according to 247Sports. He also holds offers from Boston College, Nebraska, Syracuse, NC State, Virginia Tech, Arkansas, Pitt, Wisconsin, Appalachian State, James Madison, Liberty, Miami (OH) and Elon. The offer for Rule from the Spartans comes on the same day that four-star running back Damon Ferguson committed to Pitt over Michigan State. The Spartans have yet to land a running back commitment in the 2026 class and it appears Rule may be their next big target they are focusing on moving forward.

Report: Steelers' Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf build chemistry at Cam Heyward's golf event
Report: Steelers' Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf build chemistry at Cam Heyward's golf event New Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers is making up for lost time — building chemistry with his star wide receiver DK Metcalf at veteran defensive tackle Cam Heyward's Iron for Impact charity golf event. According to The Standard on social media, the pair were spotted at Heyward's annual outing: "Aaron Rodgers & DK Metcalf already building chemistry. Spotted today at Cam Heyward's 'Irons for Impact' Golf Outing. That didn't take long." During his time in Seattle, Metcalf spent some offseasons golfing with then-Seahawks QB Russell Wilson — but he's never played with someone as decorated as Rodgers, who won the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am with PGA pro Ben Silverman. Rodgers has ample time to connect with his other top wide receivers — Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, and Robert Woods — at mandatory minicamp, which kicks off on Tuesday, June 10.
