The Spartans’ top commit in the 2026 class is gaining more attention on the recruiting trail, but one national analyst is “confident” Michigan State will hold on in the end.
Four-star quarterback Kayd Coffman of Grand Rapids, Mich. has recently received a bump in the recruiting rankings and gained more interest from some big schools such as Ohio State and Colorado. Those two factors have resulted in some Spartans fans wondering if he’ll consider opening up his commitment to go elsewhere, but that reportedly isn’t what Greg Smith of Rivals believes. Smith — who is a national recruiting analyst — is reportedly “confident that Michigan State will keep (Coffman) in the fold.”
Coffman is listed as a four-star prospect with a 91.07 247Sports’ composite rating. He ranks as the No. 19 quarterback and No. 259 overall prospect in 247Sports’ composite rankings for the 2026 class. He is also listed as the No. 4 player from Michigan in the class.
Coffman committed to Michigan State in February and ever since then has gone up the recruiting rankings. He recently earned a fourth star from Rivals, and picked up an offer from Colorado earlier this month.
There is no indication at this time that Coffman is planning on opening up his recruitment but the report from Smith is still refreshing for the Spartans. It’s clear that Coffman is a great get at the most important position for Michigan State, and it’ll be extremely important for Jonathan Smith and his staff to hold onto this major in-state commitment.
