Michigan State flips 2026 Virginia DB commit Jordan Vann
Michigan State added a surprising commitment to its 2026 class when it flipped three-star Virginia defensive back commit Jordan Vann. Vann had been committed to Virginia since early February.
Vann spent the weekend of June 13 in East Lansing. He also took official visits to Purdue (May 30) and Virginia (June 6). Van holds additional offers from Kentucky, Duke, West Virginia and Kansas, among others.
Vann is the No. 1,119 recruit, No. 60 safety and No. 49 player from Ohio in the 2026 class, per the On3 Industry Rankings.
Michigan State safeties coach James Adams offered the Middletown (Ohio) High School product in February, nearly a month after Adams visited his school. Vann also visited East Lansing in January and for a game day visit in September 2024.
