The commitment of Darius Snow to Michigan State has been a long time coming.

The four-star Carrollton (Texas) Hebron safety is the son of former Spartan basketball player Eric Snow and nephew of former Spartan linebacker Percy Snow.

His freshman season at Hebron, it seemed he would follow dad’s footsteps more than his uncle’s. Snow did not play football, earned a spot on the varsity basketball squad and saw early attention from colleges. He would give football a try as a sophomore and it became apparent, even in summer workouts, that he was going to be a good player on the gridiron.
