Michigan State Legacy Prospect Decommits From Rival and Is Set To Visit the Spartans

Adam Shaw, son of Spartan offensive tackle Scott Shaw, originally committed to Rutgers on June 1 following his visit. With his decommitment, the 3-star, two-way player is in reach for Michigan State to land. His official visit is scheduled for June 13.

As a Spartan, Scott Shaw played under then-head coach Nick Saban and was a first-team All-American in 1997. Following his time with Michigan State, he was drafted in the fifth round by the Miami Dolphins and played two games with the Cincinnati Bengals as a rookie.

According to 247Sports Composite rankings, Adam Shaw is a No. 21 class of 2026 recruit in his state and a No. 87 linebacker. 

The legacy prospect is also a quarterback at Pascack Valley High School. Last season, he threw for 1,341 yards and 13 touchdowns alongside his 1,021 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns.

Now with his decision across 16 schools narrowing down, Michigan State is in great position to land the legacy prospect even after extending a late offer.

While the Spartans have rallied together a decent recruitment class of 2026, landing a legacy target will only boost head coach Jonathan Smith's resume considering his recent struggles before official visit season.
