Michigan State landed a big-time cornerback in LaRue Zamorano III. Spartan Nation traveled to Corona, California for his commitment. In this Spartan Nation exclusive, coach Steven Burns discusses why Zamorano was a type priority for the Spartans.
CORONA, Cal. -- The Michigan State Spartans landed three-star cornerback LaRue Zamorano III on Saturday, giving Jonathan Smith his 16th commit from the 2025 class and cornerbacks coach Demetrice Martin his third defensive back.
Zamorano is the No. 42-ranked cornerback in the class, per 247Sports Composite. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound corner is big and has length and plenty of speed. His physicality will fit nicely with Martin's preference for his prototypical cornerback, too. "Just understanding that using his size and his length and his speed to his advantage, not to the receiver's advantage," Burns said. "He'll guess and bait, and that's perfectly fine, but use your length, use his length, use your size and your speed. He can run with anybody, he is physical, loves that contact. So taking that, using that every rep, understanding that it's going to be better for him and make it easier for him.
"There's hits, there's plays I'm like 'Oh!' and he'll just pop right back up like 'I'm okay, that's what I love.' College coaches love it, I love it, I was a physical player myself, but outside of that I just love physical athletes. Physical corners, defensive backs, that's part of the game. If you can't tackle, then hey, what you out there for?" Burns said.
