Four-star edge rusher David Schwerzel will be a top priority for head coach Jonathan Smith and the Michigan State Spartans when it comes to the 2026 class. Schwerzel, of O'Dea High School in Washington, is the No. 24 edge rusher in the class and the 284th-ranked player nationally.
The first time Schwerzel visited Michigan State was on a tour of Big Ten schools he took with his coach, Tracy Ford of Ford Sports Performance. He told me it was a "great experience" and it was great to meet the coaches and see the facilities and stadium. Schwerzel is one of the best 2026 players the Spartans are targeting. 247Sports national recruiting editor Brandon Huffman compared Schwerzel to Ohio State's TJ Tuimoloau.
