Michigan State Spartans target Grant Beerman announces top schools and decision date
Three-star linebacker Grant Beerman is a top priority for Michigan State and defensive coordinator Joe Rossi, who is also the linebackers coach. The Spartans have secured two really good linebackers for 2025 in DJ White and Di’Mari Malone, but Beerman could end up standing out from the rest. Maybe that time is already here.
Beerman recently announced that he will make his decision on July 6. His favorite schools are Michigan State, Cincinnati, Purdue and West Virginia.
Beerman is 6’4″, 220 pounds and has a 4.54 second 40-yard dash. He has the skills and attributes that have the Spartans raving about his potential. Beerman visited Michigan State twice, on Junior Day and again for spring practice. He made an official visit the weekend of June 14, which proved to be hugely important for the Spartans.
Beerman was particularly fond of Rossi, as he said when I spoke to him in June.
“When the staff and Coach Rossi got the job at Michigan State, he contacted me right away a week or two later and made it really clear that he was going to try to talk to me,” Beerman had told me. “He wanted to recruit me, and Michigan State’s original plan when they were good was to recruit Ohio, and that’s what they did. Coach (Brian) Wozniak came to my school a week or two later. They offered me a job soon after… (Rossi is) genuine, he cares about all of his guys, but I think he’s going to develop me the best. I think he’s one of the best coaches I’ve talked to. And there are a lot of good ones, but I think he’s going to develop me… with the way he coaches, and that’s a point he emphasized all weekend — he put up a video of how he can use me on defense and what I need to improve on and how he’s going to develop me.”
It helps that Beerman also knew Rossi from his time in Minnesota. Beerman’s last official visit was to West Virginia. From conversations with Beerman, it seems likely that it will be between Michigan State and Purdue.
The Spartans have a good chance with Beerman, but July 6 could be the home stretch.
