Michigan State has looked all over for a running back in the 2018 class: Virginia to Florida to Alabama to Texas and back again. But now the Spartans have taken another look through their home state and found an intriguing prospect. Belleville (Mich.) athlete Patrick Lupro has known the staff for a long time. He plays alongside Spartans commit Davion Williams and top targets Devontae Dobbs and Julian Barnett.

Let offer season resume. The latest evaluation period for college football recruiting began at the start of the month, not only allowing coaches to start contacting 2019 recruits for the first time but also giving them the chance to meet with prospects in person. With that typically comes the extension of offers to recruits who have produced strong starts to their seasons.

When it comes to in-state recruiting, Michigan State puts a premium on relationships. In Mark Dantonio’s tenure, the Spartans have tried to cast their web across the state, getting close with high school coaches and getting to know players well before extending offers. The hope seems to be that those relationships will win out against other schools that show late interest. That’s continued to be the strategy in the early days of 2017, as well.
