The coaching staff at Michigan State has been on a heater over the past several weeks. The 2026 recruiting class has skyrocketed up the national rankings and MSU is on the cusp of a top 20 class.

The Jonathan Smith Approach®️ has continued - patiently, quietly - and the official visit process has been tweaked a bit. The results speak for themselves.
So what has MSU changed that resulted in such a successful recruiting run? I talked to folks in and around the program to find out.
Let's get into the details.
