The Michigan State football program is not slowing down on the recruiting trail, as yet another priority target has committed to the Spartans. Class of 2026 three-star cornerback Tj Umenyiora announced his verbal pledge to the Spartans on Saturday.
Umenyiora took an official visit to East Lansing during the weekend of June 6 through June 8. He followed that trip with an official visit to Auburn earlier this week, and also took previous official visits to Northwestern and Mississippi State.
The Tigers were considered the heavy favorite to land the Atlanta athlete, as Umenyiora lives in close proximity to the school and has family ties to Auburn University, but the Spartans were able to turn the tide in his recruitment and earn a commitment.
The Blessed Trinity Catholic High School standout has opted to play his college football under head coach Jonathan Smith, defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Joe Rossi, secondary coach Blue Adams, safeties coach James Adams and the rest of the MSU staff.
"After I took all my visits, I sat down with my family and we felt like Michigan State was home," Umenyiora told Spartans Illustrated about his decision to commit to MSU.
