Deriso is a three-star prospect with a recruiting rating of 87 on 247Sports. He is ranked as the No. 79 cornerback in 247Sports’ composite rankings for the 2026 class.
According to Justin Thind of 247Sports, Deriso has cancelled his official visit to Kentucky and is locked in with the Spartans following his commitment. Michigan State beat out Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Mississippi State, Syracuse, Tulane, UCF and a host of group of five schools for Deriso’s commitment.
Michigan State is set to kickoff another big weekend of recruiting with numerous official visits planned starting today. So the commitment from Deriso is a great way for Michigan State to get the weekend started.
