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.

Nebraska running back recruit can see unique fit in offense
Nebraska running back recruit can see unique fit in offense Class of 2026 three-star running back Jamal Rule was on campus Saturday as Nebraska football held practice. He was impressed with the practice and compared himself to a current Husker back in the process. Rule is rated the 44th overall running back in the 2026 class and the 33rd overall player in his class from the state of North Carolina per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Right now, it appears as though Boston College, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and North Carolina State are some of the top schools in the running for him. On the Nebraska front, he is being recruited by running backs coach EJ Barthel. He is set to visit the program again on June 13th. He recorded 1,236 rushing yards, and 15 touchdowns on 134 carries in 2024, per statistics from Now, he can see a fit in the Huskers offense and was impressed with current Husker Emmett Johnson, as he told Tim Verghese on Saturday. "The last couple games he was eating. As he was playing, I just saw myself." Getting another Emmett Johnson-type running back would do wonders for the Huskers' offense. Rule possesses that unique skill set, and it will be interesting to see how involved the program will be in his recruitment.
