Michigan State football recruiting: Nick Marsh, the state's top 2024 WR, commits
If his nickname is any indication, Michigan State football's first commitment for its 2024 recruiting class will be a huge addition. Literally and figuratively.
Nick Marsh, a River Rouge wide receiver, announced Sunday via Twitter his pledge to the Spartans. His name on Twitter appears as "Nicholas 'Megatron' Marsh," likely a nod to Marsh's listed 6-foot-3, 195-pound frame and Detroit Lions Hall of Fame wide receiver Calvin "Megatron" Johnson (who played at 6-5, 236 pounds).

Marsh is a four-star prospect and ranked the second-best in-state prospect of his class, according to 247 Sports. ESPN, which has Marsh at 205 pounds, ranked him No. 174 overall and fifth among Michigan preps in its top 300; Marsh was the only wideout in the state to make that list.
He held offers from Michigan, Minnesota, Notre Dame, Ole Miss and Tennessee, among others. He also attended an Alabama camp last week, according to his 247 profile.

Michigan State is coming off an 11-2 season that ended with a Peach Bowl win over Pitt. Marsh is a good start for head coach Mel Tucker's fifth Spartans recruiting class (though the 2020 class was made in part by predecessor Mark Dantonio). His 2023 class is currently ranked 26th in the country and fifth in the Big Ten.
