Pretzlaff (6-3, 215) is ranked the No. 142 overall recruit, the No. 9 linebacker and the No. 2 recruit in Michigan. The four-star was set to sign with Minnesota before Jonathan Smith and defensive coordinator Joe Rossi convinced him to stay in state for college. Pretzlaff is currently on campus as an early enrollee adjusting to life on campus as a freshman.
On3 is also higher on offensive tackle signee, Payton Stewart, than the other recruiting services, the only one to rank him a four-star. Stewart (6-7, 270) is ranked the No. 286 overall recruit, the No. 25 offensive tackle, and the No. 3 recruit in the state of Washington. Stewart will enroll in East Lansing in the summer.
Wide receiver commitment Nick Marsh fell out of the On300, still holding four-star status. Marsh (6-3, 200) is an early enrollee as well, already in East Lansing preparing for his freshman season. The four-star receiver is still ranked the highest Michigan State commitment in the 2024 On3 Industry Rankings.
