EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State men’s soccer head coach Damon Rensing announced the addition of four players as part of the 2023 recruiting class.

The Spartans will welcome freshmen Colin Arce (Utica, Michigan), Will Eby (Northville, Michigan), Myles Foster (East Lansing, Michigan) and Richie Ludwig (Clarkston, Michigan).

“We are really excited to welcome these four student-athletes to the Michigan State Soccer Family,” MSU head coach Damon Rensing said. “We have always valued talented soccer players who can compete at the highest level of college soccer, but have equally valued hard work, character, and being a good teammate. Colin, Will, Myles, and Richie possess all of these qualities. What’s really cool about this class is that all four have Michigan State in their blood. They all have had a parent or both parents attend MSU. They’ve grown up Spartans, and it’s great to see them have the opportunity to fulfill their dreams at MSU.”

Colin Arce

Fr., M, 5-10, Utica, Michigan/Utica High School

Prior To MSU: Plays club for Vardar for coaches Mike Lupenec and Steve Arce … Is currently captain of the Vardar U-19 … As a junior, scored six goal and six assists … In 2021, Vardar reached the MLS Next playoffs, losing in the round of 32 … Son of Steve and Briget Arce … His father played soccer at Michigan State from 1998-2001.

Coach Rensing on Arce: “Colin is a technical center-mid who has very good vision and a high soccer IQ. He can play both deep in the midfield or further up the field. He has a very good range of pass. Colin is captain of his Vardar club team. His father, Steve, was a two-time first-team All- Big Ten midfielder here at MSU, so Colin is very familiar with the program.”
