Coach Jonathan Smith and the Spartans secure another one of their top priorities on the recruiting trail.

Michigan State coach Johnathan Smith has taken another step towards rebuilding the Spartans football program. Coach Smith and Spartans Defensive Coordinator Joe Rossi offered linebacker Charles White a scholarship in December. White responded by setting his official visit to Michigan State for June 7.

According to 247Sports, White is ranked as the 605th-best overall player in the site’s 2025 recruiting composite rankings. He is ranked as the 67th-best linebacker and the tenth-best player from the state of Michigan in the 2025 recruiting class. After getting off to a late start on the recruiting trail, White is undoubtedly one of the top players on Coach Smith and the Spartan’s wish list.

Rossi, who joined Michigan State as their defensive coordinator after spending four seasons as Minnesota’s defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, was pivotal in recruiting and signing White. During his 2023 campaign, White registered 76 tackles, eight of which were for a loss, and he also forced two fumbles.
