DARIEN, Ill. - Another Michigan State recruiting run looks to be on tap.

Triggering this next wave, Top100 defensive end Josh King.

During a ceremony at his Hinsdale South school on Friday morning, the 6-foot-6, 250-pound King gave his commitment to the Spartans over offers from the likes of Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, Oregon, Tennessee and USC.

"The coaching staff is phenomenal to me," King said. "It feels like a family there, people you can connect to. I visited Michigan State many times and each time it gets better and better. I loved it.

It felt like home."

The 6-foot-6, 250-pound King becomes commit No. 14 for Mark Dantonio and his staff in the class-of-2016 and the fourth four-star, joining Top100 receiver Justin Layne, Top247 receiver Cameron Chambers and quarterback Messiah deWeaver.

"Everyone wants to be part of the dream team," King said. "The goal is to win a national title."

King's commitment moves Michigan State past Florida, Kentucky and TCU for the No. 8 ranked recruiting class in the country according to 247Sports.

Defensive line coach Ron Burton recruited King and he looks forward to playing for Dantonio as well.

"Coach Burton is my dude," King said. ""He's such a cool guy. I love him. He's more than just a coach. He's someone you can call on the phone and talk to for advice. He's like a father. A good man. A good man for me to be around.

"Playing under Coach D, Coach Dantonio, he's such a leader. He's built the program up for so long."

King is the first defensive line commit for the Spartans this recruiting cycle, but they could have four Top247 recruits in the fold by this coming Monday evening. Top100 defensive end Auston Robertson announces his plans on Sunday afternoon. Top247 Chicagoland defensive tackles Naquan Jones and Mike Panasiuk will make their commitments Monday. Michigan State is considered the heavy favorite for all three.

247Sports ranks King as the nation's No. 5 strong-side defensive end and No. 61 recruit overall. A U.S. Army All-American, he had 70 tackles, 18 coming for loss and five sacks as a junior.

"A guy with tremendous upside," Hinsdale South coach Mike Barry said. "Tremendous potential. He has the frame, the size and the skill. His technique is raw but they'll polish that up. Once he develops physically, he's gone from football to wrestling to football to wrestling, he's had to cut weight. Now he's going to be able to build up that frame. He has a size 18 shoe. He has a sturdy base."

King is also a state wrestling champion.
