Michigan State football is continuing an active recruiting week.

The latest Spartans commitment comes from three-star recruit Adam Shaw, a 6-foot-3 linebacker from Hillsdale, New Jersey, set to join in East Lansing for the 2026 season.

Shaw, whose parents were both athletes at Michigan State, initially committed to Rutgers before flipping his decision.

According to 247Sports, Shaw is the No. 47-ranked linebacker in the country and the No. 16-ranked player out of New Jersey.

The most recent commitment comes off the heels of four Spartans commitments to the class of 2026 over the span of two days. The additions give the Spartans the No. 25-ranked recruiting class for 2026 according to 247Sports.

UPPER MICHIGAN (WLUC) – Michigan leaders are calling for unity and reflection after a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband were shot and killed in their home in what investigators call a targeted attack.

“Nobody in this country should have to fear for their safety in their own home, whether they are public officials or not, and nobody should be subject to extremism and violence for just doing their jobs,” 23rd State House Rep. Jason Morgan (D-23rd State House District) said. “We have to make sure that we are not putting people in danger for showing up and serving their communities.”

That was Morgan’s response to the fatal shooting of Minnesota’s former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband.

The suspect, Vance Boelter, was captured by police on Sunday. He is also accused of shooting and injuring Minnesota Democratic Senator John Hoffman and his wife at their home.

State House Rep. David Prestin (R-108th State House District) says he’s confident justice will be served.

“To provide punitive punishment to the individual but also send a message to society that this will not be tolerated, and I hope that is conveyed,” Rep. Prestin. “At the end of the day, violence across the board cannot be tolerated.”

Prestin also hopes people will focus less on the suspect and more on legal solutions.

“You wonder sometimes if we didn’t talk about this, how much of this would happen if they really knew they were just going to fade into oblivion and be locked up, and incarcerated for the rest of their life, and no one even knew that they existed,” Prestin said.

Morgan says as a politician, threats of violence can be a scary reality, but he and other legislators refuse to be controlled by fear.

“We cannot let those who want to use fear and violence suppress the democratic process and average people from showing up in their communities,” Morgan said.

Both Republicans and Democrats say we must all make it clear that violence is not a solution.

Michigan State football has lost its lone commit from the class of 2027.

On Sunday night, class of 2027 four-star safety Khalil Terry announced on social media that he has decommited from the Spartans.

This news doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Terry committed very early on, and one of the main factors that had intrigued him was former Michigan State cornerbacks coach, Demetrice Martin, who is now at UCLA.

The two had established a close bond, and it has carried over, as UCLA offered Terry back in January.

Terry wrote the following in his decommitment post:

“First and foremost, I’d like to thank the Michigan State football program for having faith in me early in the recruiting process. I never imagined that I’d be in the position that I’m in now. With so many options, and after discussing it with my family, I have decided to de-commit from Michigan State.

“We feel it is in my best interest to open up my recruitment and take a look at all of my options. I only get one shot at this, so I want to make sure I’m making the right decision for the long term. Once again, I want to thank Coach (Jonathan) Smith, Coach KB (Keith Bhonapha) and Coach Adams. I will release a Top 7 in the coming weeks.”

Terry, who plays for Tustin High School in California, is ranked the No. 19 class of 2027 recruit in California and the No. 21 safety in his class, per the 247Sports Composite rankings.

247Sports national recruiting analyst Greg Biggins evaluated Terry back in April:

“Terry is hybrid safety who can cover and plays a physical game. He’s a smart, instinctive defensive back and is always around the ball. He’s a high football IQ player and looks to be 2-3 steps ahead of everyone else on the field. Was timed at 20.3 MPH on the Catapult GPS in a game last season and plays with pace and suddenness.

“He’s a physical player, tackles well in space and will get downhill in a hurry to make a big hit. He anticipates routes, can bait a quarterback and shows good cover skills for a safety. He’s one of the more complete safeties in the region and has all the tools to be an early impact player at the next level.”
