Michigan State's new coaching staff is making a lot of progress building relationships with in-state prospects and schools and one 2026 target who looks to be a priority for the Spartans moving forward is offensive lineman Ben Nichols.
Nichols currently attends Davison High School and was back on Michigan State's campus on Saturday for a junior day visit.
After receiving a scholarship offer from Michigan State's previous coaching staff in June of 2023, the new regime under head coach Jonathan Smith, offensive line coach/run game coordinator Jim Michalczik and the rest of the staff recently re-offered Nichols, which he publicly announced on Feb. 2.
Following the trip to East Lansing, Nichols discussed the re-offer and the visit with Spartans Illustrated.
"Seeing the kind of offense Coach Smith runs is something special," Nichols explained. "I think this MSU offense will be great in the upcoming season."
