Big-Time Commitment

Cornerback LaRue Zamorano’s commitment on Saturday gave the Spartans’ their 16th commit and third cornerback of the 2025 class. Zamorano is now the second-highest rated commit in the Spartans’ class behind fellow Californian, quarterback Leo Hannan.

At 6-foot-2, Zamorano is a big, long, physical corner who loves jamming and hitting receivers. He has the potential to be a game-changing player for the Spartans and there is a lot to like about his ceiling. One suspects his floor is high, too.

Recruiting Prowess

Cornerbacks coach Demetrice Martin has been a hit with the recruits and Zamorano is no different. Martin had recruited Zamorano since the ninth grade. It paid off.

A big sell for Zamorano and his family was the family-like culture the Spartans have created in East Lansing.

Welcome to the Big 10, Trojans

The USC Trojans, a new addition to the conference, have already suffered a defeat. Zamorano was favoring the Trojans until the Spartans swooped in and changed his mind.
