The 5-foot-10, 170-pound Grose is the first cornerback in the class, committing to the Spartans after holding offers from Cincinnati and a host of Mid-American Conference programs.

Grose is ranked the No. 132 cornerback in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite, and No. 57 in Ohio.

The 6-foot-1, 218-pound Hightower is the second linebacker in the class and picked the Spartans over Pittsburgh, Iowa, Indiana and Michigan, among others.

Hightower is ranked the No. 47 outside linebacker in the nation, per 247Sports, and the No. 20 prospect in Ohio.
