Omaha running back schedules official visit for June 13 in East Lansing with Michigan State
Omaha running back schedules official visit for June 13 in East Lansing with Michigan State Running backs in the 2026 recruiting class have been all of the discussion around the Michigan State fanbase, with 4-star Kory Amachree committing to Kansas and 4-star Damon Ferguson scheduling an official visit, and now, a 3-star running back has scheduled an official visit with MSU. Nelsyn Wheeler, a speedster from Omaha (NE), has cancelled his Wisconsin official visit in order to schedule an official visit with the Spartans on June 13. Wheeler, a 3-star prospect, runs a very impressive 10.77 100m dash, and at 5'9" and 200 pounds, projects too be a very good scat back at the next level. Aside from Michigan State, he will be taking official visits to Cincinnati, Illinois and Kansas.
