Jonathan Smith’s promise to keep Michigan State football’s recruiting rolling into February’s official National Signing Day continues.
The Spartans landed a commitment Sunday from three-star prospect Jaylan Brown, who visited East Lansing over the weekend. He announced his pledge on social media.
The cornerback/wide receiver from Nacogdoches, Texas, is the second prep prospect to pledge to Smith’s 2024 class — along with kicker Martin Connington from Idaho — since MSU signed 18 players during December’s early signing period. The Spartans also still have a commitment from Portage Northern linebacker Jadyn Walker, who did not sign last month.
