Make it two big flips for Michigan State athletics on Monday. On the same day the Spartans announced new athletic director J Batt, hired away from Georgia Tech, Michigan State football also flipped a commitment for its 2026 recruiting class. Brayden Thomas, a three-star safety out of Lakewood, Ohio, announced his pledge to Michigan State on social media. The move comes after a strong official visit over the weekend, part of a big recruiting push by Michigan State.
