Back in June, 3-star running back Zion Gist committed to Western Michigan. However, the Spartans hosted Gist for an official visit this weekend for the Purdue game, and he must have liked what he saw, because on Monday, Gist flipped his committed from Western Michigan to Michigan State football.
Gist is the No. 141 ranked running back in the 2025 class by 247Sports and their No. 58 ranked player in the state of Illinois.
For those who may be sneering at MSU flipping a Western Michigan player, remember, one of MSU’s best players of this decade was originally from the Broncos.
