On Monday, Michigan State beat out nearly 30 schools who offered running back/athlete Aaron Young scholarships, earning a commitment from the Coatesville (Pa.) senior.
Penn State, Arkansas, Rutgers and Northwestern were his other finalists.
In Young, the Spartans get a third commit in this class, along with Illinois native Anthony Williams and Ohioan Brandon Wright, who can play in the backfield. But each brings something different to the table, and the versatility of Williams and Young were major reasons schools were recruiting both heavily. Young also potentially offers two-way possibilities.
“He is such a versatile running back,” Coatesville head coach Matthew Ortega said.
