Michigan State just completed its 2017 recruiting class a week ago, but the Spartans are already off to a fast start in the 2018 class with three commitments. Those three commits — cornerback Xavier Henderson, tight end Trenton Gillison and wide receiver Joseph Scates — are all from Ohio and all four-star prospects. There are also a number of other targets the staff is working hard on.

A certain “package deal” looks more likely than ever. Four-star Dayton (Ohio) Dunbar 2018 wide receiver Joseph Scates committed to Michigan State on Tuesday. That raised questions about the recruitment of his teammate, running back/linebacker Tavion Thomas, as the two have spoken of their desire to play together.

In Scates, the Spartans will be getting a wideout with great size (6-foot-3) and the ability to go up above opposing defense backs for 50/50 balls. They had been looking for an elite talent like his at the position, with Warren Township (Gurnee, Ill.) prospect Micah Jones being another top target.

One of the top wide receiver recruits in the country has committed to Michigan State. Four-star WR Joseph Scates announced on Tuesday that he’s going to be a Spartan. “I would like to thank all the coaches & schools that have been recruiting me and I’d like to thank the MSU coaching staff for all the time & love they’ve invested in me,” Scates wrote. “After a long talk with my family and coaches I have decided to further my academic & athletic career and commit to Michigan State University.”
