Michigan State football earned its commitment to the 2026 recruiting class Friday afternoon from tight end Joey Caudill.
He’s a 6-foot-5, 215-pound player listed as an “athlete” and ranked three stars by 247 Sports, though unranked in 247 Sports’ composite rankings. He attends Lexington High School in Mansfield, Ohio.
Caudill had offers from Miami (Ohio), Toledo and Western Michigan, but becomes the first to commit to MSU head coach Jonathan Smith for 2026.
