Spartans fall short in recruiting battle for 2023 5-star OT Samson Okunlola

Michigan State football once again came up just short in a recruiting battle for a monster prospect.

Five-star offensive tackle Samson Okunlola committed to Miami (FL) on Thursday evening, picking the Hurricanes over Michigan State, Florida and Alabama. The Spartans were in the thick of his recruitment from the beginning and there was even some late buzz in their favor down the stretch.
