Two more weekends remain for colleges to host recruits for official visits.

Michigan State had bigger groups on campus for the first two weekends, so this week’s list is not as large in quantity. 

Roswell (Georgia) Blessed Trinity Catholic defensive back Noah Willis will be making his first trip to East Lansing. Willis was only offered by the Spartans in mid-May, but they quickly found a home on his official visit schedule.

The 6-foot, 170-pound Willis can play outside corner or slot corner. Kansas State and Cincinnati already have hosted him, and he has BYU scheduled for the weekend of June 19.

Logansport (Indiana) offensive tackle RJ Clem also will be on campus for the first time. Spartans offensive line coach Nick Tabacca offered in May. 

A 6-foot-7, 265-pound prospect, Clem is also a state qualifier in discus and plays basketball. Wake Forest will get an official next weekend. Kansas State and Iowa State also have offered.

Michigan State commit Grant Adloff, a three-star offensive lineman from East Grand Rapids, also will be on campus for his official. 

In-state targets nearing decisions

The name to watch for Spartan fans this week is Detroit King’s Don Spillers. A two-way athlete, Michigan State is recruiting the 6-foot-2, 190-pound Spillers as a safety while Illinois, his other finalist, is recruiting him as a wide receiver.

Spillers is expected to make a decision by this weekend. Michigan State has led his Rivals predictions for much of his recruitment, but last weekend’s official visit with Illinois have made the Illini a very real threat to those predictions.

Spillers’ teammate, offensive lineman Jameer Henry, also is believed to be nearing a decision. Henry (6-5, 300 pounds) also is considering Illinois. Missouri was considered the primary competition, but the Tigers have faded in the race.

PORT HURON, MI — A Port Huron artist is among 90 finalists in Michigan’s 2026 “I Voted” sticker contest, with her design now in the running to be distributed to voters across the state in November.

Sydney Reed, a 22-year-old Port Huron resident and Marysville High School graduate, advanced to public voting after submitting her “Pure Michigan” design to the Michigan Department of State.

Her design features a Michigan sunset, a Kirtland’s warbler perched on an apple blossom branch and the Mackinac Bridge in the background.

“I’ve always been the artsy child in the family,” Reed said.

The Michigan Department of State received 2,095 submissions this year — more than four times the number submitted during the contest’s inaugural run in 2024. Members of the Michigan Collegiate Student Advisory Task Force selected the finalists before public voting opened June 1.

A review of the Department of State’s voting forms shows Reed’s design is the only finalist from St. Clair County among the 90 entries.

Reed said she nearly passed on the opportunity to enter.

Although she first learned about the contest on Instagram, she said her boyfriend, Kevin Adriaens of Clarkston, encouraged her to create a design and submit it.

“I was actually quite hesitant about designing a sticker,” Reed said.

Art has long been a central part of Reed’s life. She describes herself as largely self-taught but said she also received guidance from family friend Ann Marie Morgan of St. Clair.

While attending Marysville High School, Reed took Advanced Placement art classes, exhibited work at showcases at St. Clair County Community College and earned a Silver Key award through the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards.

Reed credits former Marysville art teacher Joanie Kernohan with helping shape her development as an artist.

“I spent hours in her classroom after school working on my projects and just getting to know my teacher,” Reed said. “She mentored me so much and has made me a better artist.”

Reed collaborated on several murals at Marysville High School, creating pieces that promote kindness, encouragement and positive mental health messages.
