Michigan State football will reportedly host a Florida defensive back prospect for an official visit this week.
Malique Harrell of St. Petersburg, Fla. will reportedly take an official visit to Michigan State this week, according to recruiting insider Corey Robinson of 247Sports. Harrell picked up an offer from the Spartans earlier this month and will now get up close look at Michigan State this weekend.
Harrell is an unranked prospect in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports. He plays for Lakewood High, and is listed at 6-foot-0 and 160 pounds.
Michigan State is one of six schools to extend him an offer, according to 247Sports. Harrell also holds offers from FIU, Georgia State, Howard, Stetson and Toledo.
Michigan State football is set to play Maryland on Saturday night at Ford Field in Detroit, Mich. This will not be a typical home weekend official visit with the Spartans playing down the road, but it’s interesting nonetheless to see Michigan State bring in a prospect for a visit this late in the cycle. Especially considering the potential change of the coaching staff once the season ends this week.
