Crystal-Ball Prediction Has MSU Landing Elite 2027 Defensive Back

Not only is Gash one of the top overall prospects in the 2027 class, but he also has ties to Michigan State, as his oldest brother, Caleb, is a linebacker for the Spartans, and his other brother, Samson, is a four-star wide receiver signee in the program's 2026 class. 

While several programs are actively pursuing Gash, Michigan State has emerged as the frontrunner for the four-star defensive back. 

As the Spartans continue to trend in the right direction with Gash, both Justin Thind and Corey Robinson of 247Sports’ SpartanTailgate logged crystal-ball predictions for Michigan State to win his recruitment. 

While Thind and Robinson’s predictions don’t guarantee that the Spartans will land Gash, they are a positive sign for Michigan State fans, especially given that both analysts are over 96% accurate in their all-time crystal-ball picks.

247Sports is the second recruiting site to predict Michigan State to land Gash, as Rivals’ Steve Wiltfong logged an expert prediction for the same outcome earlier this month. 

If Wiltfong, Thind, and Robinson’s predictions prove correct, Gash would be an excellent addition to the Spartans’ 2027 class. 247Sports’ composite rankings list him as the No. 304 overall player nationally, the No. 34 cornerback, and the No. 7 prospect in Michigan. 

Although the Spartans appear to be in good standing with Gash, they’ll face competition for him from several programs, including Indiana, Michigan, Texas Tech, and others. 

Still, based on the recent predictions, it’s clear that, as of now, Gash’s recruitment is the Spartans’ to lose. If Fitzgerald and his staff can continue making progress with him in the coming months and get him on campus for an official visit this spring, Michigan State should have a strong chance to land the 2027 defensive back.
