It’s amazing what a nearly-universally-liked hire can do for the vibes of a program. MIchigan State football has gone from “dead” to “revived” in about 48 hours, and now that Pat Fitzgerald has been on the job for a couple of days, he’s already hitting the ground running.
Fitzgerald said at his intro presser on Tuesday that he’s contacted most of his 2026 recruiting class, and a good chunk of them have announced that they’re sticking with Michigan State. He’s also apparently working on finding his own recruits to add to the 2026 class.
