Michigan State football has extended an offer to a highly-coveted running back prospect from Illinois.
TJ Lewis of Bolingbrook, Ill. announced earlier this week that he's received an offer from the Spartans. Lewis posted on his social media X account to announce the offer from the Spartans.
Lewis is listed at 6-foot-0 and 215 pounds, and plays for Bolingbrook High. He currently is unranked and unrated on 247Sports, but that surely will change based on the number of schools showing interest in his recruitment.
Michigan State is the latest power four school to extend an offer to Lewis, joining a group of nearly 20 schools to offer him, according to 247Sports. He also holds offers from Indiana, Kansas, Kansas State, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Penn State, Wisconsin, Purdue, Kent State, Miami (OH), Toledo, Western Michigan and UConn.
