East Lansing, Michigan – Michigan State football has successfully secured a commitment from four-star wide receiver Tyren Wortham on June 22, 2025, marking a significant addition to their recruiting class for 2026. Wortham, who previously committed to the University of Central Florida (UCF) in April 2025, has flipped his commitment in favor of Michigan State, further strengthening the Spartans as they continue to build a competitive roster.

Tyren Wortham is currently ranked as the 59th-best wide receiver and the 387th overall prospect in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports Composite rankings. ESPN positions him as the 265th overall prospect in his class. Standing 6 feet tall and weighing 175 pounds, Wortham is viewed as a dual-threat athlete, also excelling in track and field as a sprinter at Booker High School in Sarasota, Florida.

Michigan State’s recruiting efforts have been particularly fruitful in June 2025, resulting in 14 commitments within the first 17 days of the month alone. With Wortham joining the fold, the Spartans’ 2026 recruiting class now consists of 19 members, placing them 23rd in the country and 9th among Big Ten teams as of June 22, 2025.

Wortham is the second wide receiver to commit to Michigan State’s 2026 class, following the recent commitment of Zachary Washington the prior week. His arrival adds depth to the team’s wide receiver lineup, and he is now the second-highest rated prospect in the Spartans’ recruiting class—only behind offensive lineman Collin Campbell.

In deciding to commit to Michigan State, Wortham had other notable offers on the table, including interest from powerhouses like Georgia, Kansas State, and Arizona. His official visit to Michigan State occurred on June 20, 2025, which was one of four visits he made that month, including stops at UCF, Georgia, and Kansas State.

As Michigan State continues to build momentum in their recruiting efforts, they are also actively pursuing other recruits. Notably, three-star running back Jamal Rule is set to announce his college decision soon, indicating that the Spartans’ recruitment strategy is paying off as they look to enhance their team’s performance in the coming seasons.

The incoming class for Michigan State reflects a strategic push to reinforce their football program under current coaching leadership. Wortham’s commitment is expected to bring both skill and athleticism to the Spartans’ offense, further raising expectations for the potential impact of the 2026 class.

As the summer progresses, it will be crucial to watch how Michigan State expands its recruiting efforts, especially as more recruits finalize their decisions and commitments, shaping the future of the Spartans football program.
