Michigan State football looks like “lock” for 4-star QB Katin Houser

The inevitable Michigan State football fan meltdown commenced earlier this week when four-star quarterback and top target Nicco Marchiol committed to West Virginia and I knew it was only a matter of time before they had crow on the menu.

Sure enough, after an official visit to East Lansing over the weekend, four-star Boise State quarterback commit Katin Houser began trending toward the Spartans.

All had been quiet after his visit, but the word out of East Lansing was that Mel Tucker did a good job selling the program and it gave Houser something to think about. All seemed like good signs for the Spartans but there was nothing concrete that made it look like a flip was in the process until Thursday morning.

Crystal balls on 247Sports began to flood in for Michigan State with Houser coming from West Coast analysts as well as Spartan recruiting insiders and some were even with a 10 confidence level which equates to “lock” on the site.

Michigan State is picking up steam with Houser and it looks like it may only be a matter of time before he makes it official and becomes a Spartan and the top recruit in Tucker’s 2022 class.

Michigan State football recruiting on a roll

Some fans have been knocking Tucker’s recruiting so far but those people don’t realize he’s only been recruiting face-to-face for about three weeks and he’s already jumped Michigan State’s class into the top 25 nationally and it looks like it’s only about to get better.

Add Houser to the class along with a former Notre Dame tight end commit who’s trending with MSU, a three-star athlete in Shannon Blair who could be committing on Friday, a high four-star offensive tackle who just visited last weekend and loved what he saw (along with Kiyaunta Goodwin, a top-100 Kentucky commit), Alex VanSumeren who is one of the top defensive linemen in the class, and a couple of talented receivers still on the board and you’re looking at a legit top 25 group.

Michigan State’s class has grown quite a bit over the last few weeks and it’s only going to keep improving, especially if Houser makes it official soon.
