He has extremely impressive height for a quarterback, at 6-foot-5 and 205 pounds. The 247Sports composite rankings have Brady listed as the No. 2 quarterback in the 2026 class and the No. 21 overall player.<\/p>\n<p>As you would likely guess, Brady has a lot of other offers from big schools. He has 25 offers in total, including offers from Georgia, Michigan, Oregon, Washington, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Miami, and Florida State. Twenty-five offers for a sophomore in high school is a lot, but I only imagine that number will keep rising.<\/p>\n<h3>Does MSU even stand a chance?<\/h3>\n<p>Typically you think Michigan State doesn\u2019t have a chance in recruitments like this. I tend to feel that way as well. The Spartans haven\u2019t landed a highly-ranked quarterback like Brady since <a href=\"https:\/\/247sports.com\/player\/jeff-smoker-50582\/high-school-86001\/\">Jeff Smoker<\/a> back in 2000. He was a five-star and the No. 15 player and No. 2 quarterback in his class but since then, Michigan State hasn\u2019t been able to recruit a high-level quarterback like that.<\/p>\n<p>However, that maybe could change under Jonathan Smith. While at Oregon State, Smith originally recruited <a href=\"https:\/\/247sports.com\/player\/aidan-chiles-46115766\/\">Aidan Chiles<\/a> who was ranked very high as well. Chiles wasn\u2019t as high as Brady or Smoker, but he was still a high four-star and the No. 58 player in his class. Michigan State hasn\u2019t even had a quarterback that high, so maybe Smith can do that in East Lansing.<\/p>\n<p>The next step in Smigiel\u2019s recruitment is to get him on campus for a visit. That honestly would be an impressive feat on its own, but that is what MSU has to do to even have a chance in this recruitment. Crazy things happen in recruiting all the time, so you never know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can Jonathan Smith work his magic here?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":12807,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[174],"tags":[697,191,189,504],"class_list":["post-12778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fb-recruiting","tag-brady-smigiel","tag-michigan-state-football","tag-michigan-state-spartans","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12778","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=12778"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12778\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
