Michigan State flips one commit, beats out Washington for another
A busy month of recruiting keeps rolling on for Michigan State.
The Spartans picked up a pair of 2026 commitments on Sunday in three-star defensive end Fameitau Siale from Seattle and flipped three-star Ohio defensive back Jordan Vann from Virginia.
Michigan State’s 2026 class is now up to 15 commits with 11 of them coming this month for second-year coach Jonathan Smith.
The Spartans beat out hometown Washington to pick up Siale, from O’Dea High School. At 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds, he’s listed as the No. 51 edge and No. 530 player overall in the class, according to 247Sports Composite rankings. Siale is one of three commits at the defensive front, along with Cory House and Christopher Knauls.
Vann, 6-1 and 195 pounds, is from Middleton High School and ranked as the No. 87 safety in the class. He committed to Virginia in February but visited East Lansing this month and is now a verbal pledge to the Spartans. Vann is one of five defensive backs in the class, joining TJ Umenyiora, KJ Deriso, Brayden Thomas and Eliyjah Caldwell-Hardy.
