Observations:

On the Dusty Trail

The Spartans took advantage of the bye week and hit the recruiting trail hard, making numerous offers all across the country. Within their own state, the Spartans made sure to stop by key playoff matchups, too.

Young DBs

The Spartans offered numerous young defensive backs and proceed to get younger. Khalil Terry and Phoenix Evans are 2027 and 2028 targets, respectively, and Spartans defensive backs coach Demetrice Martin has shown his prowess at long-term recruiting projects.
