Michigan State the first school to reach out to elite 2026 USC CB commit Brandon Lockhart
Class of 2026 cornerback Brandon Lockhart, of Los Angeles (CA) Loyola High School, has had a busy recruitment, holding offers from across the country, including Georgia, Oregon, Michigan, Washington, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Miami (FL), Penn State, and others. He committed to USC back in October of 2023.
Lockhart is ranked the No. 36 overall recruit in the 2026 On3 Industry Rankings, teetering on five-star territory. He is also ranked the No. 2 cornerback in his class and the No. 5 recruit in California.
The date of June 15 marks the official beginning of college coaches being allowed to directly contact recruits in the class of 2026. Previously, the contact between college coaches and 2026 recruits had to be initiated by the recruit themselves.
Despite the busy recruitment, Michigan State cornerbacks coach Demetrice Martin has put on a high level of pursuit for the California cornerback, being the first college coach to reach out early in the morning of June 15.
“Coach Meat was the first coach to hit me up,” Lockhart said. “He was talking about how I am his No. 1 priority and they want to get me up there as soon as I have any space in my schedule.”
When asked if he has any interest in taking an unofficial visit to East Lansing, Lockhart confirmed his plans to visit Michigan State in the future.
“Definitely,” Lockhart answered. “They show heavy interest in me, so I do with them as well.”
Martin had been recruiting Lockhart heavily during his time with Oregon as well. The Ducks continue to push for a flip from the California cornerback as well as many other programs.
“He’s back home and I know he’s going to put his all into making Michigan State a powerhouse program again,” Lockhart previously told SpartanMag.com. “I know they’re going through a rebuilding phase, and knowing coach Meat wants me to be apart of that is amazing.”
