An in-state defensive back target for the Spartans has reportedly set his commitment date.
Corey Robinson of 247Sports reported on Monday that Darryl Flemister of Detroit has locked in his commitment date for this upcoming summer. According to Robinson, Flemister will make his college decision announcement on July 4.
Flemister is listed as a three-star safety, with a recruiting rating of 86 in 247Sports’ system. He is ranked as the No. 104 safety and No. 18 player from Michigan in the 2027 class, according to 247Sports.
Michigan State extended an offer to Flemister in October of 2023, and remains “firmly in the mix” according to Robinson. He also holds notable offers from Wisconsin, Auburn, Cincinnati, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Purdue, Oregon, Ole Miss, Pitt, Tennessee and Vanderbilt.
At this time, 247Sports only shows Wisconsin to have an official visit lined up with Flemister. I would anticipate that to change, though, before he makes his commitment in early July.
