Big Win
The Spartans were able to secure their 15th commit of the class with three-star athlete Bryson Williams. Williams is their first commit of the month, and it comes at a crucial point where the Spartans suffered a string of recruiting defeats with targets they were in a position to grab.
Williams plays wide receiver and safety, but will likely find his place at receiver when he gets to the collegiate level in 2025. Running backs coach Keith Bhonapha wants to give him the ball, too, Williams told me.
St. Mary's Pipeline
The Spartans have secured three commits from St. Mary's: three-star linebacker DJ White, the No. 1 tight end in the state in Jayden Savoury, and now Williams. Smith has made it his goal to recruit the state, and the prep school has been a big help in achieving that goal.
7-on-7 Shootout in the D
The D Zone is hosting a big 7-on-7 shootout with 23 schools from the Detroit and southeast Michigan area on Tuesday. Plenty of Smith targets will be there and commits like the St. Mary's trio.
I'm curious to see how the 2026s and 2027s perform, and if unknown targets show out. There are no pads and there is no hitting, but the little things like route-running, ball skills, coverage ability and ball placement from passers can still be analyzed.
