Through four games this season, Michigan State football is 3-1 and hoping to build on that winning record after the bye week.

Jonathan Smith knows how important it is to keep winning because, well, recruiting depends on it. If he starts losing games like he did last year after a 3-1 start, it’s going to be much more difficult to recruit and keep currently committed players in the class.

Smith is already feeling the pressure to retain one of those key commitments in the 2026 class, and it may not matter just how much the Spartans win.
