BIGGEST WINS FOR MICHIGAN STATE
Recruiting story: East Kentwood High School in Michigan was a popular spot for Wisconsin in the 2019 class. The Badgers signed Logan Brown and Stephan Bracey, and the staff also made a hard push for Mazi Smith, who ended up at Michigan.
In the following cycle, UW was in early on Dallas Fincher, who picked up an offer from the Badgers as a sophomore. As his recruitment wore on, Michigan State pulled ahead in Fincher's recruitment. His father, Mark, was a three-year letter winner as an offensive tackle for the Spartans.
