He is 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds and the No. 170 player in the 2025 class according to 247Sports. They also rank Newsom as the No. 19 player at his position and the second-best player in the state of Michigan. He will be an extremely important visitor for <a href=\"https:\/\/msuspartans.com\/sports\/football\/roster\/coaches\/jonathan-smith\/1517\">Jonathan Smith<\/a> and the staff on Feb. 3.<\/p>\n<p>As you would probably guess, Newsom holds a lot of offers already for being such a talented player. He also holds offers from Michigan, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Tennessee, and Minnesota. There doesn\u2019t seem to be a leader in his recruitment yet as there are no crystal ball predictions made for Newsom.<\/p>\n<p>According to 247Sports, however, he does not have any other visits currently scheduled right now. You do have to take that with a grain of salt because sometimes visits aren\u2019t 100 percent updated or announced yet, but MSU must be in a decent position if we are getting this early of a visit from him.<\/p>\n<h3>Feb. 3 is shaping up to be a big weekend<\/h3>\n<p>Feb. 3 will be MSU\u2019s first Junior Day since Smith took over the program. Newsom is the second Detroit native to announce a visit to MSU for this day. <a href=\"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/michigan-state-football-talented-4-star-in-state-ath-schedules-visit\/\">Four-star athlete Elijah Dotson<\/a> is also visiting this same day. Newsom and Dotson play for different schools, but there is a good chance they know each other. Coming on a visit at the same time could be huge and may lead to both increasing their interest in MSU.<\/p>\n<p>I imagine we will hear many more visits announced for Feb. 3 in the coming weeks. One interesting note is that <a href=\"https:\/\/msuspartans.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\">Michigan State basketball<\/a> plays a home game against Maryland on this day. Most of the time big recruiting weekends in the winter tend to happen when there\u2019s a home basketball game. This is always a great idea as it can show the recruits what kind of fanbase the Spartans have while they have a lot of fun at a sporting event.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned as this weekend likely will become packed with visitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another big name will be on campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":11929,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[174],"tags":[190,189,504,667],"class_list":["post-11880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fb-recruiting","tag-michigan-state-basketball","tag-michigan-state-spartans","tag-news","tag-xavier-newsom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11880"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11880\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
