In a stunning recruiting coup that’s sending shockwaves through the Big Ten, Michigan State University has landed a major weapon for their 2026 offense — 3-star wide receiver Zachary Washington out of Wheaton, Illinois!
Once a near-lock for Wisconsin, Washington’s commitment took a wild turn as the Spartans made a late — but lethal — push to flip the coveted wideout. And flip they did!
Washington, a dynamic playmaker with elite route-running and sticky hands, chose MSU over a powerhouse lineup of programs, including Illinois, Indiana, Kansas State, Louisville, Miami, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Purdue, and West Virginia.
🔥 What This Means for MSU:
A massive win in the Midwest recruiting wars.
A clear signal that the new Spartans regime isn’t playing around.
A future star who could become a household name in East Lansing.
The recruiting trail just got hotter — and Michigan State is making it crystal clear: The Spartans are BACK and building a monster.
💥 Zachary Washington is officially #GoGreen.
Stay tuned, because this recruiting class is just getting started. 🟢⚪
