Top-Ranked Player in Michigan State's 2020 Class is Absurdly Low-Rated
By Chris Russo
The Michigan State Spartans football program did not have an exceptional signing day this year
Michigan State football's highest-ranked recruit for 2020 is ridiculously low-ranked nationally, to the point where haters of the program should probably turn and laugh. Looking at you, Ann Arbor!
The top-rated player in Michigan State's 2020 recruiting class is No. 400 overall player in the country.

After a season in which the Spartans finished 6-6, Michigan State's best recruit is only considered the 400th best in the nation. 24/7 Sports ranks the Spartans' 2020 recruiting class as 11th best in the Big Ten. Though the conference now has 14 teams, it just sounds wrong for Michigan State to be outside the top 10 in the Big Ten.
Does it feel like the @MSU_Football class of 2020 is missing something?

Here's a look at what that might be:https://t.co/g1fTB6HUtQ
Said top recruit is outside linebacker Darius Snow, out of Hebron High School in Carrolton, TX, who certainly wasn't looking to lead a class.
HE’S COMING HOME ?

The Spartans did not fare well within their own state. As a matter of fact, none of the state's top 13 recruits signed with the Spartans, and only four stayed within the state with the Wolverines. However, seven of the remaining nine still went to Big Ten teams.
Meanwhile, the Spartans only recruited two of the top 20 recruits within the state of Michigan: East Kentwood High School offensive lineman Dallas Fincher (No. 14) and Rockwood High School wide receiver Ian Stewart (No. 20).
