The Michigan State Spartans are awaiting a decision from four-star tight end Anthony Cartwright III, as new head coach Pat Fitzgerald expects to boost his roster with this recruitment.
Cartwright is the best-rated tight end in Michigan, and he is expected to announce his commitment on June 28th. Cartwright is ranked 331st in the nation, 16th in his position and eighth in Michigan. The four-star recruit has narrowed down his recruitment to five schools.
According to Rivals, the Michigan Wolverines have the best chance to secure his commitment, followed by the Spartans, Oregon Ducks, Ohio State Buckeyes and the LSU Tigers.
The tight end is a position Michigan State hopes to get sorted out this offseason. The program has never been a premier destination for tight ends, since no player from this position has been drafted in the NFL in the last five years.
Meanwhile, Fitzgerald’s Spartans have landed four-star defensive lineman Ohimai Ozolua from Chicago. The pass rusher chose Michigan State over Michigan, Ohio State, Tennessee, Miami, and Penn State. Another commitment is predicted to be on the way.
Pat Fitzgerald’s Priorities Listed As MSU Hopes to Turn Around Bowl Failures
The NFL draft is over and now the focus in college football is back to recruiting. There’s new excitement around the Spartans program after Fitzgerald replaced Jonathan Smith as head coach. In two years, Smith failed to take the program to a bowl game, a missing fixture in the program’s football schedule since 2021.
SI’s Jacob Cotsonika noted three priorities for Fitzgerald after the spring and NFL draft. Summertime is when the most important recruitments happen, and it allows Michigan State to level up with other programs in terms of talent.
Cotsonika asks Fitzgerald to help presumed starting quarterback Alessio Milivojevic get acclimated with the wide receivers so that the chemistry is there on the field come the regular season. Among all the receivers, right now, only Chrishon McCray can be attested as the key figure in the lineup.
This is also the time to get players at full strength. Cotsonika requests that Fitzgerald make sure to get his players stronger.
