Michigan State hosted class of 2026 high-three-star tight end Brayden Fogle for a game-day visit. It was the first time that Fogle has been to East Lansing.

Fogle, who currently attends Lexington High School, ranks as the No. 17 prospect in Ohio and the No. 26 tight end in the 2026 cycle.

The Spartans lost to Ohio State by a final score of 38-7 on Saturday, but Fogle still enjoyed his trip to MSU.

Fogle spoke with Spartans Illustrated to discuss his visit experience, provide his thoughts on Michigan State and update his general recruitment.

"Honestly, I just liked the people up there," Fogle said about the Michigan State visit. "They had great hospitality. I liked the environment. It was a nice stadium. They took good care of us."

Even though No. 3 Ohio State got a 31-point win, it really did not feel like it, based upon how Jonathan Smith acted and sounded after the game. He pointed too a lot of missed opportunities by his team, rather than bow down to the superior talent of OSU.

Week after week after week, I see the constant bad and/or missed calls in favor of the Big Ten Schools not named Michigan or Ohio State. It’s so bad now, this favoritism is not only killing drives, allowing other drives to continue, or having an impact on the game, it is determining the outcome of the game by making the wrong call.

The last 2 victories by those skunks in Ann Arbor probably don’t happen without significant favoritism by the officials. Even a storied program like USC saw it first hand in their loss to the skunks two weeks ago. Forget the fact that it’s very curious that the skunks were not called for offensive holding the entire game, but that last game winning TD was aided by a blatant hold creating the hole that the skunk RB ran through. If you are watching the RB with the ball, how do you miss that holding call?? Then you have this recent horrendous wrong offsides call on Minnesota onside kick recovery, which definitely had a huge impact on the outcome of the game. Minnesota most likely wins that game if that wrong call is not made. I could go on and on and on, but most get my point.

Something needs to be done, but going to the Big Tens ( OSU and skunk loving) AD will not result in any changes. There needs to be some type of system put in place when official’s continue to make terrible calls, they are put on some form of probation or even terminated. This will weed out the bad actors, or at least make them think twice before making these blatantly obvious wrong calls. Another option is to give each team two challenges a game to question penalties. Just think if Jonathon Smith had the option to challenge the no call on the face mask tackle that caused the Chiles fumble in the red zone in last nights game against OSU. Instead of giving up the ball in a 10 point game, MSU has first and goal inside the 10.

I indicated earlier that the two favored programs are OSU and the skunks. But when it comes down to these two, even OSU has to deal with the skunk love fest. Skunks very likely don’t get through OSU last season ( and don’t get the NC)
if the officials make the right call on an OSU interception in the end zone that would have killed a skunk drive that was awarded the TD on that play.

Something needs to be done before this totally ruins the game many of us love so much.

Sorry for the long rant, but this has gotten so bad, I felt I had to speak my piece.

Go Green!
