The Michigan State Spartans have been one of the teams that have followed the trend of targeting in-state prospects, which, of course, is key in recruiting. They target positions on both offense and defense and have added many different commits from inside the state of Michigan.

The Spartans have four commits from the state of Michigan. Compared to other programs across the nation, this is an average amount of in-state commitments at this time in the 2026 class.

There are many names that you should know in the in-state class for the 2026 recruiting class. Let's look at three names that fans should know about players committed to the program from inside the state line of Michigan. Here are the three prospects followed by the full list.

Kayd Coffman

The Spartans have been lucky to land one of the better targets across the nation at the QB position. They landed Kayd Coffman, who is an in-state prospect from Grand Rapids, with many different schools targeting him. Some of these schools include Colorado, Cincinnati and more programs. He is one of the better QBs in the state and was the top commit for the Spartans for quite some time.

"It means a lot to me in ways that I can’t really put to words," Coffman said of his commitment. "Knowing that I get to join this team and get to work."
