He joins Leo Hannan, Di&#8217;Mari Malone, Jace Clarizio, Charles White, and Emmett Bock. There&#8217;s not a ton of starpower there, but there are a few guys who could become four-stars by the end of the cycle. I wouldn&#8217;t be shocked to see Hannan, Malone, or Collier get bumper up a whole star level.<\/p>\n<p>Collier had been trending toward the Spartans for a little while and the 6-foot-1, 170-pound Ohio-based wideout chose the green and white over a couple of other Midwest programs. He was also very high on Iowa and Iowa State. This is a good win for Smith and Courtney Hawkins.<\/p>\n<p>Although his offer sheet isn&#8217;t wildly impressive, it feels like Collier is one of those under-the-radar players who could become a solid contributor at the Power Five level. He may never be a superstar like Jayden Reed or Keon Coleman, but he&#8217;s going to move the sticks and be a trusted target.<\/p>\n<p>Michigan State&#8217;s 2025 class is coming together nicely with a quarterback, a tight end, a running back, and now a receiver on the offensive side of the ball. It feels like official visit season is going to get Smith&#8217;s first full class kickstarted and maybe Collier will start a domino effect.<\/p>\n<p>Collier is ranked the No. 132 receiver in the country and has been given an 87 rating by 247Sports. He has yet to be ranked in the composite, but 89\/90 ratings are usually four-star status so he&#8217;s not too far off.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;ll be interesting to see if Smith can add to the 2025 class this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Spartans beat out Iowa and Iowa State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":18272,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[174],"tags":[787,59,191,189,504],"class_list":["post-18271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fb-recruiting","tag-braylon-collier","tag-featured","tag-michigan-state-football","tag-michigan-state-spartans","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18271","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\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18271"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18271\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
