The Spartans needed some help and depth on their defensive line going into next season, and that\u2019s exactly what they accomplished with this commitment on Monday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: Michigan State just got a commitment\u00a0from Chicago Simeon DL Mikeshun Beeler who announced on the 247Sports Recruiting Show.<\/p>\n<p>Hard-working, a &quot;headache&quot; for opponents, and a good eval job by Michigan State is what his coaches say.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LNoCQjM6G3\">https:\/\/t.co\/LNoCQjM6G3<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7nTn5Q7WAu\">pic.twitter.com\/7nTn5Q7WAu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Allen Trieu (@AllenTrieu) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AllenTrieu\/status\/1754634789225652327?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 5, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Who is Mikeshun Beeler?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/247sports.com\/Player\/mikeshun-beeler-46129593\/\">Mikeshun Beeler<\/a> is a three-star defensive tackle in the 2024 class. He is 6-foot-4 and 280 pounds from Chicago, Ill. During his senior season, he tallied 45 tackles with 18 tackles for loss. Beeler also is three-time all-city selection and was an all-state selection as a senior.<\/p>\n<p>Beeler isn\u2019t the highest ranked recruit ever as the 247Sports composite rankings have him as the No. 1,142 ranked player in the country. He also is the No. 119 defensive tackle in the country and the No. 27 player in Illinois. However, even with the lower ranking, he still has plenty of offers from big schools. MSU beat out the likes of Oregon, Indiana, Colorado, and Georgia Tech to win this recruitment.<\/p>\n<p>On Jan. 30, Beeler received four crystal ball predictions to commit to Michigan State. Three of them came from Michigan State insiders and one came from a national recruiting analyst. Four predictions, with one being from a national guy, was a very telling sign that good news was on the way, and that came true on Monday.<\/p>\n<h3>MSU\u2019s 2024 recruiting class<\/h3>\n<p>The commitment from Beeler could very well be the last for Michigan State in its 2024 class. This commitment will bring MSU\u2019s 2024 class ranking up to No. 43 in the country and No. 14 in the Big Ten, according to 247Sports. Definitely not where the Spartans want to be, but not terrible if we\u2019re being honest.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Smith and his staff had almost no time to put this recruiting class together. And <a href=\"https:\/\/msuspartans.com\/sports\/football\/roster\/coaches\/mel-tucker\/1059\">Mel Tucker<\/a> also didn\u2019t help with how he left the program. But Smith has proven to be a strong recruiter and I\u2019m sure the 2025 class will be much stronger. One other important thing to note is that these rankings do not include transfers., and we all know how many great transfers Michigan State got this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Michigan State football is on the rise, and this commitment this late in the class just proves that even further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michigan State just got better today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":13648,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[174],"tags":[191,189,706,504],"class_list":["post-13620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fb-recruiting","tag-michigan-state-football","tag-michigan-state-spartans","tag-mikeshun-beeler","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13620","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=13620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13620\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/13648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
