Michigan State lands four-star IOL Cole Dellinger

Clarkston (Mich.) four-star interior offensive lineman Cole Dellinger has committed to Michigan State, announcing his decision over social media on Friday afternoon.

Dellinger chose the Spartans over LSU and Purdue.

Dellinger is the No. 326 overall recruit and the No. 20 interior offensive lineman in the 2023 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Dellinger is the fifth-highest ranked recruit in the Spartans’ 2023 recruiting class. The group ranks No. 16 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 3 in the Big Ten. Dellinger is Michigan State’s second commitment in two days following four-star EDGE Bai Jobe of Norman (Okla.) Community Christian School.

The 6-foot-3, 295-pound interior offensive lineman has an NIL valuation of $11.7K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. 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.
