Michigan State Offers Exciting 2028 Linebacker

Miles is only a sophomore at Carmel Catholic, but he’s already established himself as one of the nation’s top linebacker recruits. 247Sports’ composite rankings list him as the No. 56 overall player in the 2028 class, the No. 3 linebacker, and the No. 4 prospect from Illinois. 

Michigan State is the fifth program to extend an offer to Miles, joining Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, and Ohio State. Although it’s still early in his recruitment, a few schools have already made progress with the four-star linebacker, as he took unofficial visits to the Hoosiers and the Hawkeyes this fall. 

While Indiana and Iowa may have jumped out to an early lead in Miles’ recruitment, the young linebacker is still a ways away from making a decision, so the Spartans will have plenty of time to make up ground.

Since taking over as Michigan State’s head coach, Fitzgerald has extended offers to several prospects in the 2027 class, but Miles is the first 2028 recruit to receive an offer from the new Spartans staff. 

That speaks to the kind of player he is, and Michigan State will likely make him a priority throughout his process. Although Miles is only a 2028 prospect, the Spartans could bring him to campus in East Lansing this fall for an unofficial visit to strengthen their standing in his recruitment. 

It’s still far too early to tell whether the Spartans will be a serious contender for Miles’ recruitment. Still, extending him an offer at the very least opens the door to the possibility of Michigan State landing one of the top prospects in the 2028 class.
