MSU football locks in official visit with 4-star DL from Minnesota

Michigan State football has started to lock in official visits for the upcoming summer recruiting period, and they secured a visit from a big-time prospect on Saturday.

Nehemiah Ombati of Shakopee, Minn. announced on Saturday that he has “locked in” an official visit to Michigan State for early June. According to a social media post from Ombati, he will visit Michigan State on June 5 through June 7.

Ombati is listed as a four-star defensive lineman, with a recruiting rating of 89.85 in 247Sports’ composite system. He is ranked as the No. 39 defensive lineman and No. 2 player from Minnesota in the 2027 class. He is also listed as the No. 337 overall prospect in the class.

Michigan State extended Ombati an offer earlier this month, and is one of nearly 15 schools to offer him, according to 247Sports. He also holds notable offers from Wisconsin, Boston College, Iowa, Virginia Tech, Iowa, Kansas, Kansas State, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Washington.

As of this post, Ombati only has one other official visit scheduled, with that being a trip to Wisconsin the week before he visits Michigan State. I anticipate he’ll add a few more official visits to his schedule, but at the moment, it looks like Michigan State and Wisconsin are the two front runners for his commitment.
