Michigan State football is one of the few schools still in the hunt for a big-time running back prospect from the Midwest.
Four-star running back Shahn Alston of Painesville, Ohio released his top eight schools list on Friday and it includes the Spartans. Missouri, Auburn, Penn State, USC, Nebraska, Florida and Wisconsin joined Michigan State on Alston’s top schools list.
Alston ranks as the No. 7 running back and No. 118 overall prospect in 247Sports’ rankings for the 2026 class. He’s also listed as the No. 5 player from Ohio in the class.
Michigan State is one of 25 programs that have extended an offer to Alston.
