Could Auburn flip Michigan State WR commit Tyren Wortham?
Tyren Wortham pledged to Michigan State just over a month ago, but that has not stopped teams like Auburn from actively pursuing him to flip his commitment. Wortham, a four-star rated wide receiver from Sarasota, Florida, recently spoke with John Garcia Jr. of Rivals about his recruitment, which includes heavy discussions with SEC powers Auburn and Georgia, as well as UCF, a program he was once committed to. Wortham shared with Garcia that he plans to visit Auburn during a game this season, which is great news for Hugh Freeze and the Tigers' coaching staff, who are gaining momentum after offering Wortham in July, three weeks after Wortham announced his pledge to Michigan State. Wortham also plans to visit Georgia and UCF during the season before signing in December. Wortham is the No. 42 wide receiver from the 2026 class and is the No. 34 player from Florida. Auburn houses the No. 54 signing class for the 2026 cycle and aims to flip Wortham from Michigan State to pair with Jase Mathews, a four-star wide receiver who committed to the Tigers on Aug. 8.

MSU commit, 4-star WR Tyren Wortham picks up offer from SEC school
Arguably the top commitment in the Spartans' 2026 class picked up a notable offer from an SEC school on Monday. Michigan State commit Tyren Wortham of Sarasota, Fla. announced on Monday night that he's received an offer from Auburn. Wortham posted about the offer from the Tigers on his social media X account. Wortham is a four-star wide receiver in the 2026 class. He committed to Michigan State last month over the likes of Georgia, UCF and Kansas State. He was originally committed to the Golden Knights before flipping to the Spartans about a month ago. Wortham saw a notable bump in the Rivals/On3 recruiting rankings update on Monday, now sitting as the No. 112 overall prospect in the class. He holds offers from more than 30 schools, with Auburn being the first to offer him since his commitment to the Spartans last month. Wortham was a monster get for the Spartans during a monster month of June on the recruiting trail. So it should come as no surprise to see a school like Auburn sniffing around and trying to get him to reopen his recruitment. Hopefully, nothing materializes out of this offer (or any other future offers) and we see Wortham in the Spartans' green-and-white next year as a member of the 2026 class.

Michigan State Football Lands Its Second Wide Receiver Tyren Wortham and 19th Recruit From the Class of 2026
Michigan State Football Lands Its Second Wide Receiver Tyren Wortham and 19th Recruit From the Class of 2026 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After Rai'Shawn Elmore committed to Eastern Carolina University, Michigan State football head coach Jonathan Smith had only two wide receiver targets left. One recruit just received a head-turning offer from Alabama, making the competition even tougher for the Spartans to win. Smith would have to flip the other recruit from his original commitment. Advertisement Michigan State was nothing but persistent to complete a wide receiver duo with commit Zachary Washington. On Sunday afternoon, one of Smith's two targets announced that East Lansing will be his new home after high school. Michigan State head coach Jonathan King/Lansing State Journal/USA Today Network The entire month of June up to the final weekend of official visit season was in the Spartans' favor. Michigan State headed into the month with a mere four recruits committed, but Smith and his staff managed to crank up the heat and get 14 more rolling into East Lansing. Tyren Wortham made that number 15. The four-star wide receiver from Sarasota, Fla. is ranked No. 387 overall and No. 59 overall in his position. Wortham is also the No. 57 student-athlete out of Florida. Advertisement The rising senior who received 33 total offers was initially committed to UCF. That didn't stop wide receiver coach Courtney Hawkins, though. Hawkins continued the recruiting process and effort with Wortham throughout the month. He was a Knight all the way up until he announced that his decision was flipped. Wortham visited Michigan State in the final weekend of visits for three days. From there on out, he knew where home was. As Washington was the sole receiver committed, it was now or never for Smith to get another on board. With Elmore going to ECU, it was down to Wortham and Samson Gash. Though Gash would be a nice addition, Smith and his staff aren't as concerned with reeling in another wide receiver if Gash is leaning much more towards his new offer from Alabama.
