Summary
- Ryan Pankey, a 6'6" 235-pound TE from Colorado, committed to Michigan State.

Michigan State football continues to build its roster, recently gaining a commitment from Colorado tight end prospect Ryan Pankey. Standing at 6'6" and weighing approximately 235 pounds, Pankey is noted for his size and potential as a blocking tight end, having also played defensive end.
Pankey is currently ranked as the 1,321st overall recruit in the 2027 class and the No. 10 prospect from Colorado. His recruitment included offers from notable programs such as Oregon State, Washington State, and Colorado State.
The addition of Pankey impacts Michigan State's strategy for recruiting other tight ends, though they remain interested in top prospects like Anthony Cartwright Jr. The Spartans have a developing group of young tight ends already on the roster, including redshirt freshman Jayden Savoury and true freshmen Eddie Whiting and Joe Caudill.
Looking ahead, Michigan State has also extended an offer to highly-rated 2028 tight end Jevyn Severson from Iowa, who has garnered interest from several Power Four programs.
