Michigan State WR target commits to Cincinnati

Chad Willis, a 3-star wide receiver from Orchard Lake, Mich., has committed to Cincinnati over Michigan State, Minnesota and Pitt.

Willis, ranked as the No. 92 wide receiver and No. 15 player from Michigan in the 2027 class, made his commitment announcement on Saturday. The Bearcats secured the in-state prospect who had been pursued by nearly 30 schools. slot-chickenroad.org

Michigan State was among Willis's finalists, though it remains unclear if he was considered a high-priority target for the Spartans. The program continues to pursue other wide receiver targets in the 2027 class.
