The Michigan State Spartans offered elite two-way star Jackson Samuels Ford in late October. He just received a high ranking from a major recruiting source.
Michigan State has cranked up its interest in the 2026 class throughout the fall and October saw them offer a plethora of junior class talent.
"Debuting at No. 228 overall, Malvern Prep's Jackson Samuels Ford is another talented two-way player repping at edge rusher and tight end who projects to defense all the way," Andrew Ivins wrote. "Ford shows good athleticism on the corner as he can bend and change directions. He plays aware to get his hands up in passing lanes, while also showing some stack-and-shed capability.
Ford has a great frame, but it likely doesn't fit the prototype of what tight ends coach Brian Wozniak wants. He will likely stick to the defensive side of the ball and fit into the defense as a rush end for specialist coach Chad Wilt. Wilt explained the position this spring and it has been a noticeable mainstay in Joe Rossi's defense.
