MSU football locks in official visit with priority in-state 4-star TE prospect

Michigan State has locked in an official visit with one of the top tight ends in the 2027 class.

Allen Trieu of On3 reported on Thursday that Michigan State has scheduled an official visit with in-state tight end prospect Anthony Cartwright. This announcement of an upcoming official visit to Michigan State comes shortly after he announced his five finalists, who are Michigan State, Michigan, Miami (FL), LSU and Oregon.

According to 247Sports, Cartwright will visit Michigan State on May 29. He is also expected to visit Miami (FL) on June 5 and Oregon on June 19. These official visits will all come before his announced commitment date of June 28.

Cartwright is listed as a four-star prospect, with a recruiting rating of 89.33 in 247Sports' composite system. He ranks as the No. 20 tight end and No. 8 player from Michigan in the 2027 class. Additionally, he is ranked as the No. 389 overall prospect in the class.

Michigan State extended an offer to Cartwright nearly three years ago in October of 2023. The Spartans are one of nearly 40 schools to offer him.

With all of Cartwright's finalists being major national programs, it was essential for the Spartans to get him on campus for an official visit to have any shot at landing his commitment. This is a positive sign for the Spartans and gives them the first crack during official visit season to make a strong impression with Cartwright.
