The Michigan State Spartans are targeting three-star receiver Charles Taplin of Red Oak, Texas. In this Spartan Nation exclusive, Taplin opens up about what he was looking for when he took a trip to East Lansing for an official visit.
2025 three-star wide receiver Charles Taplin visited Michigan State on the weekend of June 7, along with notable Spartan targets such as the most recent commit to the Green and White, Drew Nichols.
Taplin told Spartan Nation that he went into his visit looking for a place to potentially call home. The distance from where he resides in Red Oak, Texas, to East Lansing is over roughly 1,100 miles. Home away from home would be crucial. Taplin's hosts were members of the Spartan receiver core, such as Grant Calcagno, Montorie Foster Jr., Aziah Johnson and Jaron Glover. The receiver group shared a valuable perspective to Taplin about the Spartan program, giving him insight into the Green and White.
Taplin has good length and speed, along with shiftiness when he has the ball. However, his weight is something he is looking to add to for the college level. He is climbing to the 170-pound mark, but it is a tough road to hoe for Taplin as an athlete with such high-intensity training. He said he is consistent with his meals and he expects the results to come soon.
