The Michigan State Spartans are turning to the 2026 class on the recruiting trail. Among their top priorities is one of the best offensive lineman in the country, Maxwell Riley, who likes the Spartans and gave Spartan Nation valuable insights.
Maxwell Riley of Avon Lake High School is one of the most highly recruited offensive linemen in the 2026 class. He is the 6th-ranked offensive tackle by 247Sports, the No. 1 player in Ohio, and the 35th overall prospect nationally. He holds 26 offers, but he narrowed it down to seven.
I spoke with Riley, who told me he had a busy summer. He worked out at his visits to Alabama and Ohio State, working on pass protection, inside zone and outside zone blocking, agility drills and tests. He also visited Clemson, Oklahoma, and he plans to head down to Missouri, too. "We talked for quite a bit," Riley said. "I've been in pretty frequent contact with him. I visited, I think, two months after that, in April or May."
"I really like him a lot," Riley said. "He's just a really good dude. Has got a great history of development. Coached in the NFL, for the Raiders, for a little bit, too. Which is always a pro."
