Elite 4-Star Wing Bryson Howard Commits to Michigan State Men’s Basketball
East Lansing, MI — In a major boost to their 2025 recruiting class, Michigan State University has landed a commitment from four-star small forward Bryson Howard, a highly touted prospect out of Frisco, Texas. The 6-foot-7 standout made his announcement official earlier today, selecting MSU over several top-tier programs including Kansas, Alabama, Texas, and UCLA.
Howard, who plays for Lone Star High School, is widely considered one of the top wing players in the country. His commitment signals a major recruiting victory for Spartans head coach Tom Izzo, who has long prioritized adding dynamic, two-way players to his roster.
“After thoughtful consideration with my family, I’m excited to announce that I’m committing to Michigan State University,” Howard shared in a statement on social media. “Coach Izzo and the entire staff have shown genuine belief in me from the start. I can’t wait to be part of the Spartan tradition.”
Howard’s game is built on athleticism, versatility, and effort on both ends of the floor. He averaged an impressive 21.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 2.3 steals per game during his junior season, leading Lone Star High to a strong playoff run. His ability to score from all three levels, guard multiple positions, and play with intensity has made him a coveted recruit nationally.
Coach Tom Izzo spoke highly of the newest Spartan, saying, “Bryson is a perfect fit for our program. He brings toughness, skill, and a high basketball IQ. He’s also a team-first player who understands what it takes to win. We’re excited to get to work with him and help him grow into the best version of himself.”
Analysts echo Izzo’s sentiment, calling Howard one of the most complete players in the class of 2025. Recruiting expert Eric Bossi of 247Sports praised Howard’s all-around skill set, saying, “Bryson is a terrific pickup for MSU. He plays with great energy, has the size and wingspan to defend at a high level, and can score in multiple ways. He has a chance to make an immediate impact in East Lansing.”
Howard’s decision is also a major step forward for MSU’s overall recruiting efforts. He joins fellow 2025 commits Malik Jennings, a talented point guard, and Daniel Carter, a physical power forward. Together, the trio provides the Spartans with a balanced group that addresses key needs in the roster moving forward.
With Howard now committed, the buzz around Michigan State’s future is growing. Fans are already envisioning what his arrival will mean for the program, and expectations are once again rising as Izzo and his staff look to build another championship-caliber team.
For Howard, it’s a chance to join a legendary program and grow under one of the most respected coaches in college basketball. For Michigan State, it’s another step toward staying at the forefront of the national conversation.
One thing is clear: Bryson Howard’s commitment is a game-changer for the Spartans — and the best may be yet to come.
