West Bloomfield, Mich. four-star athlete Dillon Tatum has set a commitment date for September 29. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound athlete will announce his commitment at 7pm ET.

Michigan State has been viewed as the frontrunner for the versatile playmaker with Michigan also in the mix.

“It is down to Michigan and Michigan State,” Tatum confirmed Thursday morning. “I will be committing to one of those schools.”

Tatum speaks highly of the Wolverines and Spartans

Tatum has not taken any visits this season, but he has been around Ann Arbor and East Lansing a good bit the last few years.

“Michigan and Michigan State are great schools,” Tatum said. “It is really hard to pick one. I have been around Michigan a good bit and I love their stadium with over 100,000 fans in it. Coach Bellamy (Tatum’s old head coach) being there is big, too.

“Then Michigan State is a school I have been visiting since I was a little kid. I am familiar with the program and I grew up a big fan. I see Michigan State as a school I can have fun at outside of football.”
