2, 2025. Fitzgerald was officially hired by MSU on Monday. | Starr Portice, Michigan State Spartans on SI, who announced he had been offered by Michigan State earlier. He hasn't been rated by a recruiting service yet, but he has already received additional offers from Wisconsin, UConn, and five teams in the MAC. It doesn't mean Owens is committed to the Spartans, but it's a good sign things are headed in that direction. It's a long, long way from the time to finalize the 2027 class --- Michigan State isn't even entirely done with 2026 --- but seeing some crystal balls come in from a prospect so soon is definitely a good sign. The 2027 recruiting class will beand his staff's first complete class, so it'll be important for the health of the program to start strong.Massillon’s Savior Owens beats Big Walnut's Cole Hysell into the end zone for a first-half touchdown in an OHSAA Division II regional final, Friday, Nov. 21, 2025, in Zanesville. | Kevin Whitlock / Massillon Independent / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images, is listed at 5-foot-11 and 215 pounds on 247Sports.

What can definitely be said about Owens is that he has been productive. He claimed to have rushed for 1,579 yards and 21 touchdowns during his junior season when he posted his Owens isn't the speediest running back of all time, but there are plenty of positives that pop out from his tape. He runs behind his blockers pretty well for a high schooler, stays patient, and is pretty elusive in space. Owens already has a decent joke move and has the ability to cut back pretty well.
