I\u2019m not sure even the previous staff who was praised for their recruiting powers was ever on a heater quite like this one.<\/p>\n<p>No, these aren&#8217;t five-star transfer players like Ohio State&#8217;s Caleb Downs, but the additions have consisted of high-quality, immediate-impact players.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier on Friday, <a href=\"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/michigan-state-football-news-lands-ucf-db-nikai-martinez\/\">MSU added UCF safety Nikai Martinez<\/a> and just a few hours later, it landed a commitment from LSU\u2019s Jeremiah Hughes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: Former LSU CB Jeremiah Hughes has Committed to Michigan State, he tells <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/On3sports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@on3sports<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 6\u20190 190 CB will have 3 years of eligibility remaining <\/p>\n<p>\u201cspartan nation less do it.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9Bl2gw3kDp\">https:\/\/t.co\/9Bl2gw3kDp<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AcQYUNhy1G\">pic.twitter.com\/AcQYUNhy1G<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Hayes Fawcett (@Hayesfawcett3) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Hayesfawcett3\/status\/1791545737051824554?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 17, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Hughes stands 6-foot-0, 193 pounds and is a powerhouse at the corner position. He hit the portal after an impressive freshman campaign with the Tigers, playing in 13 games and showcasing his potential on both defense and special teams.<\/p>\n<p>The Michigan State football recruiting staff continues to prioritize players with a \u2018low-ego, high-output\u2019 mindset as they set the program culture moving forward. The staff isn\u2019t interested in formerly high-ranked recruits with only a year left of eligibility, they continue to add players with multiple years of eligibility remaining.<\/p>\n<p>Hughes is from Nevada originally and was a high-three-star prospect coming out of high school. As a member of the 2023 recruiting cycle, Hughes has three years of eligibility remaining. With a host of offers from top programs and experience playing in the SEC, the young defensive back is a huge boost to a position group that has potential to be the strength of MSU\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n<p>For many readers, seeing &#8220;defensive back&#8221;, &#8220;strength&#8221;, and &#8220;Michigan State football&#8221; in the same sentence can be triggering.
