Michigan State football is making serious moves on the recruiting trail, and they've just landed in the final three for one of the most sought-after defensive linemen in the 2027 class.

Nehemiah Ombati, a standout from Shakopee, Minnesota, has narrowed his list to three schools: Michigan State, Nebraska, and Missouri. That's elite company, and the Spartans are right in the thick of it.

Ombati is no ordinary prospect. Rated as a four-star defensive lineman with a 247Sports composite rating of 89.57, he's considered the No. 35 defensive lineman nationally, the No. 2 player in Minnesota, and the No. 373 overall prospect in his class. Those are big-time numbers for a player with his size and skill set.

The Spartans extended an offer to Ombati back in early February, and he's since drawn attention from nearly 20 schools. But Michigan State has been a consistent front-runner, and they're set to host him for an official visit in early June. He's also expected to check out Minnesota and Missouri, so the competition is fierce.

For Michigan State, landing a player like Ombati would be a massive win for their defensive line recruiting. The Spartans have been building momentum, and closing on a top-tier talent like this would send a clear message about their future on the defensive side of the ball.

Now it's all about execution. The visit is coming, the relationship is growing, and the opportunity is there. Spartan fans have every reason to be excited—this could be one of those recruiting victories that sets the tone for years to come.
