4-star in-state OL signs NLI with Michigan State

Michigan State football is looking to lock in their 2026 recruiting class during the early signing period, and are receiving more and more signatures as the day goes along.

One recruit that has officially locked himself in with Michigan State is a massive one. North Branch (MI) offensive lineman Eli Bickel has officially signed with the Spartans. A 4-star prospect, ranking as the No. 161 overall player and No. 11 interior offensive lineman, the 6-foot-6 and 270 pounder was massive to keep in the state.

For his commitment, Michigan State beat out offers from Cincinnati and Northwestern to earn the in-state talent.
