The Michigan State Spartans have put together a great class in the 2026 recruiting cycle thus far after landing many of their top targets on both the offensive and defensive side of the football.

They have attacked many positions very heavily, including the wide receiver position, where we find many of their top targets in the class already committed. They have landed Zachary Washington, Tyren Wortham, and also Samson Gash, who brings a lot to the table, not only as a player, but for the pipeline of the state of Michigan.

People tend to forget how important a guy like Gash can be to this recruiting class, as he brings a lot to the table with his true talent at the whiteout position, being able to flex out from both slot and outside.

Gash remains one of the most important parts to the Michigan State staff as of now and he continues to build to what he could bring to the table in terms of a size as he currently sits at 6-foot,165 pounds while this isn’t college ready, he continues to improve his weight, which is something that we need to keep an eye on at this time.

As mentioned, the pipeline is arguably the most important thing that comes to the table when you bring in a guy like Gash, as he is in prospect from inside the state. Let’s not forget the important issue that must be addressed that the Spartans have to defeat the Michigan Wolverines, who are a very good recruiting program for their interior state prospects.

The Spartans have landed many prospects inside the state, including Gash, and also Kayd Coffman, who is their quarterback commit in the 2026 class and a difference-maker type of commit that committed early on in the 2026 recruiting cycle.

The Spartans will continue to build their class, but there are many positions that are nearly locked down entirely, including the Wide Receiver position that seems to be set in stone for the Spartans after landing a guy like Gash in the month of June. If they continue this dominance, the Spartans will be in great shape, with many things that have already started to look promising.
