Michigan State Football Lands In-State Wide Receiver Samson Gash Class of 2026 Recruit Over SEC School Alabama
Michigan State Football Lands In-State Wide Receiver Samson Gash Class of 2026 Recruit Over SEC School Alabama originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Michigan State secured wide receiver Tyren Wortham on June 22 right after Zachary Washington announced his commitment on June 16. Now, the Spartans reeled in a third wide receiver after being disappointed in not landing running back Jamal Rule. Advertisement Instead of beating out a Big Ten school, though, head coach Jonathan Smith got an edge over an SEC team Michigan State football head coach Jonathan King/Lansing State Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Samson Gash, whose younger brother the Spartans are also heavily recruiting, was extended an offer on May 15. Over a month later, on June 21, Alabama put themselves in the battle and put up a good fight — enough to make Gash's top two schools for consideration. The three-star recruit out of Michigan is the No. 985 overall student-athlete from the class of 2026, No. 154 wide receiver, and No. 14 pick out of his state. Originally, Gash was originally debating between Michigan State and West Virginia. After meeting with the Crimson Tide staff and being impressed by the conversation, he happily announced his offer via X. Alabama immediately replaced West Virginia. Advertisement It was expected for Gash to take longer to make his decision, especially after the sudden shift in his finalists. However, he stayed on track and announced his commitment to Michigan State on June 24. He wrote in his caption, "IM HOME." For Gash, Michigan State is just an hour away. Though Alabama put up a good battle, proximity and length of recruitment time may have been big contributing factors in Gash's decision. This is definitely a confidence boost for the Spartans, especially overcoming an SEC school for the recruit. Michigan State now has 20 commits and is ranked No. 26 overall with their class of 2026.

Michigan State Football Eyes Class of 2026 and 2027 Brothers Samson and Gideon Gash To Recruit
Michigan State Football Eyes Class of 2026 and 2027 Brothers Samson and Gideon Gash To Recruit originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Michigan State football has rallied together an ever-growing group of class of 2026 recruits. Now with coaches being legally allowed to contact student-athletes from the class of 2027, head coach Jonathan Smith hasn't stepped off the gas. Advertisement Two brothers in particular, from the class of 2026 and class of 2027, have been on Smith's radar. Michigan State head coach Jonathan King/Lansing State Journal/USA TODAY NETWORK Samson Gash, a three-star wide receiver out of Novi, Mich., is one of the Spartans' top remaining targets from the class of 2026. He's the No. 908 overall recruit, No. 141 overall wide receiver, and No. 14 pick out of Michigan. Samson is also the highest-rated wide receiver from his state. His decision will be announced very soon as he told Justin Thind, "We should see a decision in the next day or so." Michigan State is one of three schools likely to land the wide receiver. Cincinnati and West Virginia are the other two colleges Samson scheduled visits with. His final official visit set is with the Bearcats on June 20, but he praised the Spartans after his June 13 visit. As he nears a decision, it's possible that Samson cancels his final visit, especially given home-state ties. Advertisement Smith isn't stopping with the eldest Gash brother. Class of 2027 recruit and younger brother Gideon Gash is a four-star cornerback. He's currently ranked No. 327 overall, No. 35 among cornerbacks, and No. 8 out of Michigan. Including Michigan State, Gideon has received 11 offers and announced his Spartans offer on X. While Michigan State is the sixth Big 10 offer Gideon received so far, things may be looking up for the Spartans if his older brother decides on East Lansing. As for Samson's decision, there is currently only one wide receiver on Smith's commitment list so far. So aside from the home-state advantage for Michigan State, there's room to complete a potential three-star duo with Samson and recent commit Zachary Washington.
