Three-Star Cornerback Jeremiah Favorite Welcomed by Michigan State Football Fans Upon Commitment originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Michigan State football welcomed its 11th defenseman and sixth defensive back from the class of 2026. The Spartan fanbase welcomed the new commit with open arms under his commitment post. Advertisement Head coach Jonathan Smith's recruitment squeezed its way into the No. 24 overall spot across NCAA classes of 2026. Smith landed his 21st commitment on Wednesday, June 25. This is the eighth commitment rolling in from the 10 rising seniors who visited East Lansing over the weekend of May 30. Michigan State football head coach Jonathan King/Lansing State Journal/USA TODAY NETWORK Jeremiah Favorite announced his commitment on Wednesday afternoon. The Boiling Spring, S.C. native was recruited by secondary coach Blue Adams. In the absence of Demetrice Martin, Adams needed to step up and deliver a pitch that would work equally as well as the former cornerbacks coach's excellent recruiting skills. Spartans immediately took to the comments to welcome him to his home away from home. Showering his comment section in green, it's safe to say Michigan State is excited at the bare minimum to have rounded out a solid defensive class and push the Spartans one step further in their rebuilding era. Advertisement The three-star is the No. 1230 overall recruit, No. 105 cornerback overall, and No. 21 recruit from South Carolina. Some other schools in the running for Favorite out of his 25 total offers were Indiana, Oklahoma State, and Wake Forest. Favorite joins edges Fameitau Siale and Cory House, linebackers Braylon Hodge and Adam Shaw, cornerbacks TJ Umenyiora and KJ Deriso, safeties Jordan Vann, Eliyjah Caldwell-Hardy, and Brayden Thomas, and defensive lineman Christopher Knauls on defense from the class of 2026.

Today, I return to the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office with a profound sense of duty and humility. It is both a privilege and a calling to serve the citizens of Spartanburg once again as their Sheriff. Throughout my 43 years of service, including my time as Chief Deputy at the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office, management within the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, patrol officer at the Spartanburg Police Department, and deputy with the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office, I have committed myself to public safety, professional integrity, and the fair enforcement of the law. I bring that same commitment to this office. My promise to the people of Spartanburg County is simple: I will serve you dutifully and diligently while upholding the law with transparency, respect, and accountability. In the days ahead, I look forward to working alongside our deputies, staff, and community leaders to build upon the strengths of this office and ensure a safe and secure future for all who call Spartanburg County home.
