There’s been plenty of talk about five-stars being interested in Michigan State football and these are the three who I believe are most likely to commit.

When was the last time you could say that Michigan State football was in the running for multiple five-stars? Probably never, right?

The Spartans are making an impression on a handful of five-star prospects and most of the top targets have already planned official visits this summer. Mel Tucker is clearly generating some excitement around the program and he’s doing a fantastic job of selling it to the nation’s best players.

Michigan State is probably in the running for about five five-star prospects, but which three do the Spartans have the best chances with?

Michigan State was a surprise host for Rueben Owens during the spring game and he gave a fantastic quote afterward about how Mel Tucker is the king of East Lansing and he could see himself as the prince.

Promising quote aside, Owens seems very interested in the Spartans and he even stated he wanted to make a return trip to East Lansing in the summer.

Although he currently only has one official visit planned to Georgia on June 17, there’s always the possibility he pencils Michigan State into his summer schedule. He would make for a heck of a running back duo with four-star commit Kedrick Reescano who also happens to be from Texas.

Owens is the No. 1 running back in the class and he’s ranked the No. 17 recruit in the country. If Michigan State can get him back for an official, I like the Spartans’ odds.
