🚨Tom Izzo Strikes Gold: 4-Star PG Carlos Medlock Jr. Commits to Michigan State!
EAST LANSING, MI — The future of Michigan State basketball just got a major boost.
Carlos Medlock Jr., a highly-touted 4-star point guard from Wayne, Michigan, has officially committed to Michigan State, giving head coach Tom Izzo a potential star floor general in the class of 2026.
The 6-foot-2 playmaker chose the Spartans over offers from Iowa, Michigan, Oklahoma State, Creighton, and several other Power Five programs.
> “I chose Michigan State because I genuinely feel that I have a real connection with the whole coaching staff and they make me feel like I’m home,” Medlock Jr. said in his announcement. “I see it as a program where I can go in and help take my game to the next level. They will help me become a better person off the court.”
Medlock’s commitment is a massive win for Izzo and the Spartans, who have been actively retooling their backcourt for the future. Known for his elite court vision, quick first step, and tenacious defense, Medlock Jr. brings an old-school toughness with modern guard skills—perfectly suited for Izzo’s system.
Recruiting insiders have pegged Medlock as one of the most complete point guards in the Midwest, and his stock has only continued to rise after strong showings on the AAU circuit this summer.
This commitment signals that Michigan State isn’t slowing down anytime soon on the recruiting trail. With Izzo still pulling elite in-state talent, the Spartans look poised to reload—and not rebuild—in the coming years.
Spartan Nation, buckle up. The next floor general is on hisway.
GO GREEN. ✅
