Among the overhaul with the football program is addressing the 2026 recruiting class, and getting as many recruits locked in as possible.
One recruit that the Spartans thought was going to be signing, but is no longer making the move, is Christopher Knauls Jr. The Frisco (TX) native once said he was planning on signing, but now, he has reopened his commitment. A 6-foot-4, 265 pound defensive tackle. He is a 3-star prospect.
