Michigan State football recently got into the recruitment of a legacy recruit, looking to make a splash and a play on a linebacker with ties to the university. Adam Shaw, the son of former Spartan All-American Scott Shaw, was the prospect on the Spartans radar.
Unfortunately, the Spartans aren’t going to get a real crack at the legacy prospect, after Shaw has made his commitment to Rutgers, cancelling his other official visits.
Shaw is a native of Hillsdale, New Jersey, and made his decision to stay with the in-state Scarlet Knights over offers from Pitt and MSU. He is an 88-rated 3-star by 247Sports, being recruited as a linebacker, standing at 6’3″ and weighing 205 pounds.
It is unfortunate that Spartans are not going to get a chance with the legacy recruit, with having an official visit be such a massive part of the recruiting process, but Rutgers got the first crack at the prospect and landed their shot.
Lessening the blow, Michigan State landed the commitment of 3-star linebacker Braylon Hodge on Sunday afternoon, gaining a massive addition at the linebacker position.
