Michigan State continues to find success on the recruiting trail in the early stages of head coach Pat Fitzgerald's tenure, as class of 2027 three-star Ohio EDGE/defensive end Jack Schuler announced his commitment to the Spartans on Thursday.
Schuler's commitment comes on the heels of a visit from MSU defensive coordinator Joe Rossi and defensive line coach Winston DeLattiboudere III in Ohio on Wednesday. Following the conversation between the parties, Schuler was ready to pledge to the Spartans.
Michigan State offered Schuler a scholarship opportunity in February. He quickly made the the roughly four-hour trek from Columbus, Ohio to East Lansing, Michigan for a spring visit on March 21. It won't be long before Schuler returns to MSU's campus as well, as he has an official visit booked with the Spartans for the weekend of June 19 through June 21.
According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Schuler currently ranks as No. 1,034 recruit overall, No. 79 EDGE prospect and No. 39 player in the state of Ohio in the 2027 class. Looking at the Industry rankings at On3/Rivals, Schuler ranks as the No. 2,014 prospect overall, No. 180 EDGE and No. 112 player in the Buckeye State.
In addition to Michigan State, Schuler has garnered scholarship offers from Connecticut, Marshall, Liberty, Central Michigan, Toledo, Ball State, Miami (OH) and Kent State.
Schuler currently attends Bishop Watterson High School in Columbus, Ohio. As a junior in 2025, he helped lead the Eagles to a perfect 14-0 record and a second consecutive state championship. Schuler recorded 84 total tackles, 20 tackles for loss and nine sacks this past fall. He earned first-team All-District accolades, and was an All-State honorable mention selection.
In 2024 as a sophomore, Schuler was a part of a Bishop Watterson team that went 16-0 and also won a state title.
The 6-foot-5, 240-pound Schuler has some positional versatility as a strong-side defensive end or a stand-up rush end, and he could potentially play either spot once he arrives at MSU.
At Michigan State, Schuler will play under Fitzgerald, Rossi, DeLattiboudere, rush ends coach Andrew Bindelglass, assistant defensive line coach Jake Chaney and the rest of the staff.
With Schuler now joining the group, Michigan State's 2027 recruiting class has grown to seven total commitments as of press time, which is before official visits begin. He joins four-star defensive end Ohimai Ozolua, three-star safety Ty'ire Clark, three-star offensive tackle Jack Carlson, three-star quarterback Eli Stumpf, three-star offensive lineman Grant Adloff and three-star running back Savior Owens.
