News from the MSU Athletic Department seems to be coming out fast so far this week. In addition to the news of our new Athletic Director, J Batt, the football team has also picked up a new name for the 2026 recruiting class. In a bit of a coup, Jonathan Smith has flipped the recruitment of Brayden Thomas from Iowa State to Michigan State.
Thomas, a three-star safety from Lakewood, Ohio, had been committed to the Cyclones since February. However, even after making his commitment to ISU, reports were being made that he was making visits to other programs.
