Michigan State coach Jonathan Smith understands the importance of Name, Image and Likeness deals to recruits. However, he wants players who are not overly focused on just that.
Michigan State coach Jonathan Smith accepted the head coaching position at Michigan State understanding that it would be his and his coaching staff’s task to turn Michigan State’s football program around.
Although Smith has proven he can turn a football program around, the last time he did so, NIL deals were not nearly as prominent. However, paying collegiate athletes has come along more recently, and more and more recruits are allowing NIL deals to determine where they will get a college education and where they will play college football.
At the National College Showcase at Wayne State in May, Smith said he understands the importance of NIL deals to today’s college football players. However, Smith also said he is searching for players who are not letting NIL deals be their primary focus while being recruited.
