The Michigan State Spartans pulled off a miracle when they reverse-flipped three-star running back Jace Clarizio from Alabama. It sent a message to college football.
The days leading up to Wednesday's National Signing Day were bleak for Michigan State and Coach Jonathan Smith.
The class seemed likely to shrink on signing day. Perhaps even drastically. Social media was negative in the buildup -- a 5-7 record and the lackluster recruiting after July compounding into questions about whether or not the Spartans could finish strong in the 2025 recruiting cycle.National Signing Day was just about as good as it could have possibly gotten. The highlight? An earth-moving flip --signed with the Green and White over the Crimson Tide.
"I think it shows we can compete at the highest level," Smith said on Wednesday. "A couple of these guys had some really high profile options, and we were able to them choose us, have them believe in us and so I think it shows a great direction of where we are heading.
