Nehemiah Ombati, a highly regarded four-star defensive lineman from Shakopee High School in Minnesota, has announced his official visit to Michigan State University, scheduled for June 5 to June 7. This visit comes as Pat Fitzgerald and his coaching staff actively pursue top prospects in the 2027 recruiting class.
Ombati, who weighs 275 pounds and stands at 6 feet 2 inches, has quickly become a key target for the Spartans after they extended an offer to him earlier this month. Despite the brief timeline of their recruitment, Michigan State has made significant strides in positioning themselves as serious contenders for the young defensive lineman.
Ombati is set to visit other programs as well, including Wisconsin, which will host him on May 28, and Missouri, scheduled for June 11. These visits highlight the competitive landscape for Ombati”s commitment, with the Rivals Recruiting Prediction Machine currently favoring Wisconsin and Missouri as the leading programs. The prediction model gives Wisconsin a 48.8 percent chance of landing Ombati, while Missouri holds a 28.7 percent chance.
As the Spartans focus on strengthening their recruiting efforts in the trenches, Ombati is among several defensive line prospects they are targeting this spring. His national ranking places him as the No. 337 player overall, the No. 39 defensive lineman, and the second-best prospect from Minnesota, according to 247Sports” composite rankings.
While Ombati has not set a commitment date yet, it is expected that he will make a decision following his official visits this spring. A successful visit to Michigan State could enhance the Spartans” chances of securing his commitment, as they aim to build a strong 2027 recruiting class.
