Michigan State football: Top 3 priorities for 2021 Early Signing Period

This is the name currently on everyone’s minds heading into the early signing period as Audric Estime picked up a massive offer from Notre Dame on Monday which is one many believed he had been waiting for. That has to worry the coaching staff a bit in terms of a potential flip, but Estime has stated that the two sides have a strong relationship and trust each other.

The four-star running back previously stated that he didn’t want to sign until February which made a lot of Spartan fans uncomfortable and pessimistic, but he’s mentioned that he hasn’t decided what he’s going to do just yet as of Monday afternoon.

Will he stick with the Spartans, end any flip talk and sign in the early period? It’s possible and if Michigan State wants to hold on to him, it must hope that he signs on Wednesday.

If not, this could be a long couple of months until National Signing Day.

Estime is one of the fastest-rising prospects in the class and he committed to MSU before his senior year and then broke out for one of the most ridiculous seasons of any prospect. He has been garnering new interest daily and will be tough to hang on to, but he’s Tucker’s most intriguing young prospect right now.

Estime also got a four-star bump in the composite and he’s ranked the No. 245 prospect in the nation. He is priority No. 1 heading into the early period.
