Four-star wide receiver Nick Marsh of River Rouge (MI) High announced his commitment to Michigan State Friday afternoon.

The 6-foot-3, 200 pounder chose the Spartans over Penn State and Pitt.

Marsh on why he chose Michigan State

“Just the love the fans stayed by me throughout the recruiting process.”

Relationship with coaching staff + their plan for him

“Michigan State has always been my first love. I had to explore and see what else was out there. Ultimately Michigan State checked all the boxes. My relationship with the coaches is amazing. I’m building relationships with everybody getting closer to everyone and plan on being the wideout after learning and competing.”

The Wolverine State wide receiver joins coach Mel Tucker and the Spartans’ top 40 class in the 2024 team rankings. He is accompanied by four-star running back Anthony Carrie, three-star safety Reggie Powers, and others.

Marsh ranks as the No. 120 player in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 21 wide receiver and the No. 3 player in the state of Michigan.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $102K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Personal Life (via On3)

“Nick Marsh made an immediate impact on the varsity level, helping River Rouge (Michigan) High School to a state championship in his freshman season. He then continued to turn heads as a sophomore and a junior, earning the nickname “Baby Megatron” because of his ability to go up and get the football like former Detroit Lions star receiver Calvin Johnson. Marsh said he loves Johnson’s game and models his after the former NFL star. “Just catching the ball and getting upfield, showing how elusive I am running the ball, and seeing how I can run in open space is really what I’m trying to work on,” Marsh told 247Sports. “I feel like I’ve proved that I can catch the ball up top, run good routes and do a lot of other things.”
