In-state 2026 visiting

Spartan signee talks enrolling
Michigan State signed Tampa (FL) Carrollwood Day High School cornerback Eddie Pleasant back in December as a member of its 2023 recruiting class. Pleasant committed to the Spartans on April 17, 2022, a little over a week after his first visit to East Lansing.
“I had never been on a campus that treated me like they did,” Pleasant said. “I felt at home. The guys there felt like they were already my teammates. When I visited a whole bunch of campuses back then, it never felt like that.”
Even after Pleasant committed to Michigan State, the Spartan staff never wavered on their recruitment of the defensive back.
“Even though I was committed they kept recruiting me hard,” Pleasant said. “They knew how it goes with the recruiting process. They kept calling me, FaceTiming me every other day, texting me.”
Michigan State was not the only school contacting Pleasant even after he had committed to the Spartans, as Florida State, among others, had reached out to the three-star prospect. Although Pleasant did take a visit to FSU in the fall, his love for Michigan State also never wavered.
“The reason why Florida State didn’t win out was because they weren’t consistently recruiting me,” Pleasant said. “They stopped doing what they had been doing at first. They made me feel like a top priority and then they stopped. I am all about green. All about (Michigan State) and I will give them 100 percent every day. I am glad I made a great decision with them. I am just grateful.”
