Michigan State Football Recruiting Class Of 2012 - Potential Additions

The Spartans are waiting to hear from three recruits who are planning to announce their decision on National Signing Day. The most notable of the three is four-star offensive tackle Kyle Dodson, who will announce his decision at 12:15 p.m. He is down to Michigan State, Wisconsin, Ohio State and USC.

The other two players Michigan State has a chance to add are both defensive linemen. Alabama defensive end JaMichael Winston, who is committed to Arkansas, could sign with the Razorbacks or change his mind and go with the Spartans. Defensive tackle Terrell Jackson, who is from Columbus, Ohio, is uncommitted and is down to three schools: Michigan State, Illinois and Pittsburgh. His decision is expected to be announced on Wednesday.

Another defensive lineman the Spartans were in the mix for was New Jersey defensive end Julian Pinnix-Odrick, but he has decided to stick with his commitment to Rutgers, according to a report from John Garcia Jr.
