Michigan State football is making serious moves in the 2027 recruiting cycle, and the Spartans just landed a major opportunity with one of the state's top prospects.

Four-star edge rusher Myles Smith has officially scheduled his college visits, and Michigan State made the cut. The 6-foot-5, 215-pound standout from Farmington, Michigan, is turning heads across the nation. According to the 247Sports composite rankings, Smith is the No. 246 overall player in the country, the No. 23 edge rusher, and the No. 7 player in the state of Michigan.

The Spartans will get the first crack at impressing him, with an official visit set for May 29. After that, Smith will travel to Missouri, Kentucky, and Michigan—a lineup that shows just how hot this recruit is on the national stage.

For a program like Michigan State, landing an in-state talent of this caliber would be a huge win. Smith's combination of size, speed, and raw power makes him a disruptive force off the edge—exactly the kind of player who can change the course of a game. And with the Spartans getting the first official visit, they have a prime opportunity to set the tone.

Whether you're a die-hard Spartan fan or just love following the next generation of stars, this is one recruitment to watch closely. Smith's decision could have a big impact on Michigan State's defensive future—and on the look of the sidelines in East Lansing for years to come.
