Forbish’s commitment continues a successful weekend on the recruiting trail for the Spartans.
Following an official visit over the weekend (June 5 through June 7), class of 2027 Texas wide receiver Zach Forbish has committed to Michigan State.
“It just feels like home,” Forbish told Spartans Illustrated about his commitment to MSU. “There’s nowhere else I’d rather be. Go Green!”
The Lone Star High School (Frisco, Texas) wideout plans to play college football under head coach Pat Fitzgerald, offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan, wide receivers coach Courtney Hawkins, assistant wide receivers coach Dom Spalding and the rest of the MSU staff.
Forbish becomes the third scholarship official visitor from the weekend of June 5 through June 7 to verbally pledge to the Spartans, joining three-star EDGE Lawrence Kanneh and three-star cornerback Cordaro Parham.
