MSU football trending for high-level DL prospect from Chicago
Michigan State football is reportedly trending for a high-level three-star defensive lineman from the Windy City. Rivals recruiting insider Allen Trieu has posted a prediction in favor of the Spartans to land a commitment from Ohimai Ozolua of Chicago. The confidence level of the posted prediction by Trieu is set at 60.
Ozolua is listed as a near four-star prospect, with a recruiting rating of 89 in 247Sports' composite system. He is ranked as the No. 48 defensive lineman and No.
417 overall prospect in the class. He is also listed as the No. 15 player from Illinois.
Michigan State extended an offer to Ozolua in January, and is one of nearly 20 schools to offer him, according to 247Sports. He also holds notable offers from Boston College, Illinois, Iowa, Miami (FL), Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Vanderbilt. Michigan State is set to host Ozolua for an official visit on May 29.
According to 247Sports, the Spartans are the lone school that has an official visit lined up with him at this time -- which could change but if it doesn't, then that would be a great indicator for the Spartans in his recruitment. šØš£ššš§š: 2027 3ā Defensive Lineman š¢šµš¶šŗš®š¶ š¢šš¼š¹šš® ( @ohimai21 ) has been š£šæš²š±š¶š°šš²š± to MSU by @AllenTrieu at a confidence level of 60.
