A Spartans football prospect in the 2026 class has elected to continue his career at another Big Ten school instead of Michigan State.
Three-star linebacker Jacob Savage of Union, Ky. announced his commitment to Indiana on Friday afternoon. Savage picked the Hoosiers over the following other finalists: Michigan State, Purdue, Louisville, Northwestern, Minnesota and Georgia Tech.

Savage is a three-star prospect on 247Sports, and holds a rating of 87. He ranks as the No. 59 linebacker in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings. He is also listed as the No. 5 player from Kentucky and No. 663 overall prospect in the class.
Savage was originally scheduled to take an official visit to Michigan State in late May, but it’s unclear at this time if that will still occur. We will need to monitor if Savage wants to visit Michigan State in May as that will be an indicator if the Spartans are still in play to flip him away from Indiana.
