In the midst of February's recruiting dead period, the Michigan State football coaching staff is working diligently behind the scenes. They're staying in touch with top targets for the 2027 class and extending new offers, setting the stage for a bustling spring visit season once the dead period lifts on March 2.
Recently, Michigan State's wide receivers coach, Courtney Hawkins, made a significant move by offering a spot to Namajay Thompson, a standout wide receiver from Crest High School in Shelby, North Carolina. Thompson, standing at 6-foot and weighing 185 pounds, is already on the radar of several programs, with offers from Wake Forest, Boston College, Duke, and East Carolina, among others. However, the offer from the Spartans carries special weight.
As Michigan State gears up for the upcoming recruiting season, their strategic outreach could make a big impact on their future roster. Thompson's inclusion in their plans highlights the Spartans' commitment to securing top talent and building a competitive team for the years ahead.
