The Michigan State Spartans have been able to recruit very heavily at multiple different positions as they have been mainly recruiting the class of 2027 thanks to the ability to land multiple different prospects in the 2026 class that is among the best in the class because they were able to have a great run in the summer month, especially the month of June which they turned their recruiting process in the 2026 recruiting cycle around.

One of the 2027 recruiting classes that they have been recruiting is Kaleb Wells. Wells is a very talented athlete from the state of Maryland, as he is someone who has been a priority recruit for many. He caught up with the Michigan State Spartans recently to detail everything that fans need to know about his Michigan State recruitment, as well as more things that have played a factor thus far, like a team that was standing out other than the Michigan State Spartans. Here is what he had to say.

• "I would say Michigan State is one of my top schools as of now so they’re doing pretty good," the Michigan State Spartans target stated when speaking to Michigan State Spartans On SI about his Michigan State recruiting standpoint at this point.

Has the talented prospect been speaking with any of the Michigan State Spartans coaches, or is he primarily not speaking with these coaches at this time?
