MSU receives 17th verbal commitment for 2012

Just days before National Signing Day on Feb. 1, the MSU football team received another verbal commitment during the weekend in wide receiver Monty Madaris from Cincinnati, Ohio.

The 6-foot-2, 190-pound three-star recruit — according to Rivals.com — is the 17th verbally committed recruit for MSU and the fourth wide receiver to join the Spartans’ 2012 recruiting class, joining Aaron Burbridge (Farmington Hills, Mich.), Kyle Kerrick (Coatsville, Pa.) and Macgarrett Kings, Jr. (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.)

According to Rivals.com, in Madaris’ senior year at Cincinnati Moeller, he finished the season with 56 receptions for 1,137 yards and 16 touchdowns. Demonstrating his versatility, he also ran up 280 rushing yards for two touchdowns.

All in all, I’d say it’s pretty good news Madaris has verbally committed to MSU. It seems like the Spartans would rather play with him than against him at Michigan, Nebraska, Indiana or Florida State — schools that also recruited him.
