Michigan State offered a scholarship to one of the most coveted cornerbacks in the 2026 class on Sunday in Rivals250 prospect Jalen Williams.

The four-star defensive back out of Kell High School in Marietta, Georgia ranks as the No. 18 cornerback, No. 33 recruit in the state of Georgia and No. 248 overall prospect in the 2026 class.

Williams spoke with Spartans Illustrated to give his thoughts on Michigan State, provide his feelings on the offer and to describe his game,

"I’m mainly getting recruited as a corner, but, a few schools have said they like my versatility," Williams explained. "This season, I’ve played every where in the secondary: (free) safety, nickel back, strong (safety), doesn’t matter.

"As far as my game, I’d say I’m a technician. I feel like my technique and football IQ define what I do. I’ve got good footwork, I’m physical, I’m super competitive and I’m aggressive. I’m a really good and willing tackler. People say cornerbacks don’t like to tackle, but that’s not me. I’m trying to hit something all the time."
