Michigan State football’s 2025 recruiting class officially grew by two Wednesday.
Wide receiver/defensive back Bryson Williams and offensive lineman Antonio Johnson both signed their agreements to join the Spartans this fall, bumping coach Jonathan Smith’s second class to 18.
The additions of Williams and Johnson give Smith four Orchard St. Mary’s signees in the class. Linebacker Charles White and tight end Jayden Savoury both signed during the December period, but neither enrolled early at MSU. Williams has been committed to the Spartans since July but did not sign during the December period.
Their high school teammate, running back Darrin Jones, also has agreed to join them at MSU as a preferred walk-on.

MSU had 11 freshmen enroll in January, including Frankenmuth defensive tackle Derrick Simmons, who is the lone four-star signing in this class according to 247 Sports composite rankings. The other 17 signees are all three-star prospects.
The Spartans’ class entered Wednesday at No. 56 overall and 16th in the Big Ten according to 247 Sports composite rankings. The second signing period runs through April 1.
MSU also reportedly has interest in Emmanuel Nwaiwu, a Canadian edge rusher from Vanier College in Montreal. He is considered a three-star prospect by 247Sports but is unranked in the composite ratings. He reportedly also is considering late interest from North Carolina, Boise State and Akron.
