A pattern is beginning to form for Michigan State football's upcoming freshman recruiting class.
Cornerback George Mullins, a native of Bushnell, Fla., became the Spartans' 10th freshman for the class of 2025, their first full recruiting cycle under new coach Jonathan Smith. Like the previous nine, Mullins is rated as a three-star prospect by 247Sports (though he is not listed on the website's overall list, which takes into account rankings from other recruiting services).
