Can Michigan State football flip 4-star Florida RB commit?

Michigan State football will host a four-star Florida running back commit for an official in June. Can the Spartans flip him?

Mel Tucker and Michigan State football have scheduled yet another visit for the June 2 weekend, this time with four-star running back Kahnen Daniels.

Daniels’ recruitment has been pretty quiet of late as he committed to the Florida Gators on April 10. However, that has not stopped Tucker and running backs coach Effrem Reed as they are still in hot pursuit of the talented back.

Daniels checks in at 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds and is from SEC country in West Point, Miss. He is a four-star recruit ranked No. 339 in the country and No. 28 amongst all runnings backs.

The Mississippi product is a “do it all” type of player as he primarily played quarterback with a little wide receiver and running back for his high school team this past season. His high school team operates a run-heavy offensive scheme, so most of his productivity still came on the ground even while he was at quarterback. In Daniels’ junior season, he rushed 203 times for just over 2,000 yards and 24 touchdowns. On top of that, Daniels threw for 212 yards and two touchdowns and hauled in one catch for 42 yards. This versatility is exactly what we need in East Lansing.

According to 247Sports, MSU appears to be the only other school still making noise in this recruitment since his commitment to the Florida Gators. Recruits flipping their commitment is not uncommon in today’s game, and Daniels could be the next to change his commitment in favor of MSU.

The Spartans’ 2024 class sits at four commitments, none of which are running backs. Daniels would be a massive get for MSU as the Spartans have struggled recruiting the running back position out of high school. LJ Scott was the last four-star running back to commit (and stay committed) to MSU and that was back in the 2015 class.

The Spartans are also playing host to another four-star running back in Anthony Carrie, whose official visit is already scheduled to begin June 23.

June 2 is shaping to be a massive recruiting weekend for the MSU staff. Daniels is one of five four-star recruits currently scheduled to visit MSU this weekend alone. Current MSU commit Jaylen Thompson is one of those five recruits and will look to help convince the others visiting to join him in this class.

Is MSU on the verge of flipping a major Florida commit? Only time will tell, but Tuck’s Comin’.
