The recruiting process is picking up for class of 2026 three-star inside linebacker Mathieu Kanu. The Patriot High School (Nokesville, Virginia) standout now has 10 Division I scholarship offers, including several from Power Four programs.
The latest offer comes from Michigan State, as he has built a strong bond with MSU defensive analyst Chris Gordon. He looks forward to building relationships with head coach Jonathan Smith, defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Joe Rossi and the rest of the Spartans' staff as well.
Additionally, Kanu has already received offers from Central Michigan, Marshall, Maryland, North Carolina, Old Dominion, Penn State, South Carolina, Virginia Tech and West Virginia. That list is likely to continue to grow.
Kanu spoke with Rivals.com to provide his thoughts on the Michigan State offer, highlight which other schools have caught his attention most and provide an update on his general recruitment.
"It felt great getting the offer (from Michigan State)," Kanu told Rivals.com. "Building the bond through the (past couple) months made it more meaningful. The culture that comes with MSU and the fan base (are things that stand out)."
