Michigan State is fully invested in the 2026 recruiting cycle.

Per reports from SpartanMag’s Joe Tipton, the Spartans have been one of the teams showing the most interest in four-star forward/big Latrell Allmond of John Marshall in Virginia. The 6-foot-8 prospect is the No. 3 center in the class, per 247Sports, and overall, he ranks No. 46.

Per 247Sports’ Adam Finkelstein, Allmond was a standout in July’s NCAA Academy, a massive team tournament.

“Allmond spent the grassroots season competing at the u17 level, before playing with the u16 team this week,” Finkelstein wrote. “With that move comes an increased opportunity, and for Almond, that meant a chance to show his improving versatility. He’s come up the ranks primarily as a big man, and as he continues to go on in the game, he becomes more and more of an undersized big man. What we saw this week, was evidence of an expanded game though, on both ends of the floor. Defensively, he was low in his stance when pulled to the perimeter, fully locked in, and making a clear effort to move laterally.

“Offensively, he’s able to play facing the basket, particularly in the middle third of the court, which should translate to systems where they play with two frontcourt players in high-low type systems. He has a long list of early high-major suitor.”
