admin_news
Bolstering Joe Rossi’s defense remains the early 2026 priority for Michigan State football’s recent recruiting run.
The Spartans picked up a commitment Tuesday, June 10, from three-star high school prospect Cory House. The defensive end from Memphis, Tennessee, picked MSU over nearly 30 offers, including Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland and other power-conference programs.
The 6-foot-5, 240-pound House is rated as the nation’s No. 77 edge rusher and No. 832 player overall according to 247Sports.com’s composite rankings. He is the Spartans’ 10th pledge for 2026 and sixth on the defensive side of the ball after MSU received commitments over the weekend from cornerback Kelsey “KJ” Deriso, defensive lineman Christopher Knauls, Jr., and safety Eliyjah Caldwell-Henry.
House had 50 tackles, including 15 for a loss and five sacks, last season for Whitehaven High while forcing two fumbles and deflecting three passes according to the (Memphis) Commercial Appeal. He is the Spartans’ first edge rush commit for 2026.
