Michigan State football offers in-state OL, becomes leader

Michigan State football has extended an offer to a prospect in the 2026 recruiting class, one from the state of Michigan.

Eli Bickel was the recipient of the offer from the Spartans coaching staff. He competed at the Wayne State college showcase camp for the MSU coaches this summer, and after a few games of film in his junior season, the Spartans offensive line coach Jim Michalczik felt comfortable offering the prospect.

A 6-foot-6, 270 pound offensive lineman, Bickel is from North Branch, Michigan, playing his high school football at North Branch. He is not yet rated by the recruiting services.

Bickel currently holds six offers, with a power conference offer also coming from Cincinnati. A crystal ball was logged in favor of MSU after the offer.
