Michigan State Football promises to draw interest from suitors

That’s the case with Michigan State and several members of its 2025 class. Running back Jace Clarizio was tendered by Alabama this week and plans to visit the Crimson Tide. But while many believe Clarizio’s hometown team will remain with the Spartans despite that visit, there is more competition for cornerback Aydan West.

West (6-0, 184 pounds) is having a fantastic season at Gaithersburg (Maryland) Quince Orchard with one-handed interceptions on the highlight reel as well as big plays on offense. This has drawn new schools his way that have challenged the Spartan pledge he made in late June.

“He was a bit of a late bloomer in today’s market in terms of the way recruiting is going,” said 247Sports analyst Brian Dohn. “I watched him practice last fall and loved his size and his ability to get open and run. He has a good feel for the game. He plays on one of the best public school teams in Maryland, so he gets good reputations in practice. He’s been training with (South Carolina receiver) Nyck Harbor to get faster. I think he hit 22 miles per hour on the field this year. I think if schools waited longer he would be better known. He was good as a junior, but as a senior he really developed.”
