Kory Amachree is one the top running back in the 2026 class from Michigan. He is the eighth-overall player in the state and the No. 30 running back, per 247Sports.
The Spartans have been interested in Amachree for some time, even before the Jonathan Smith era began in East Lansing. Amachree said he knew an offer was coming from the previous staff, but when the new staff came in, he was brought in for an unofficial visit in February and that was when they offered him.
Amachree has been in touch with Michigan State running backs coach Keith Bhonapha, whom he said is a down-to-earth, genuine person. Geography is not the only thing that ties Amachree to the Green and White. Amachree's father, Opuene, played running back at Michigan State under head coach George Perles. Amachree said his father has given pointers when it comes to playing the position.
