  01/30/23 - Terry RobertsrSr/2024, Michigan State, 5-10, 180 (DS#999 CB) + More +

  The University of Miami has secured its eighth scholarship commitment from the transfer portal, this one a former Iowa cornerback. Graduate transfer Terry Roberts, a 5-10, 180-pound fifth-year senior this past season, announced his decision Monday evening on social media. The Hurricanes are especially in need of cornerbacks, as five-star prospect Cormani McClain flipped his commitment last week from UM to Colorado. Three former UM cornerbacks recently transferred: Al Blades Jr., Isaiah Dunson and Khamauri Rogers.

Roberts, 22, played in five games this past season but reportedly was sidelined by an injury leading to the Oct. 22 Ohio State game. He had three starts last season and amassed 13 tackles (nine solo) with one interception and three pass breakups. He came to Iowa in 2018 as a three-star defensive back out of Erie, Pennsylvania's Cathedral Prep. He redshirted his first season. Roberts finished his Iowa career with 47 tackles and four starts in 33 games played. He had seven pass breakups and two interceptions. - Miami Herald

  12/28/22 - Aaron BrulerSr/2024, Michigan State, 6-1, 223 (DS#26 OLB) + More +

  Michigan State football's linebacker room continues to get good news. Aaron Brule on Tuesday announced he plans to return to the Spartans for his sixth season of eligibility. That comes three days after Jacoby Windmon announced his return for a fifth season Saturday. Brule transferred to MSU from Mississippi State last winter, arriving with fellow New Orleans native Windmon, who transferred from UNLV. After a slow start to the season, Brule emerged after Windmon and seven others were suspended for their roles in an altercation at Michigan on Oct. 29.

Over MSU's final four games, the 6-foot-2, 242-pound Brule posted 18 of his 30 tackles and registered three of his four sacks as defensive coordinator Scottie Hazelton - also in his first season coaching the linebackers - began using a variety of different packages. Brule had 4.5 of his 6.5 tackles for a loss down the stretch as well, along with a fumble recovery, a pass breakup and three of his five QB hurries for the season. - Lansing State Journal

  On a day when Michigan State football welcomed its newest players, Mel Tucker gave some glimpses into some of the decisions his current Spartans are making for their future. Most notably that offensive linemen Nick Samac and J.D. Duplain both plan to return for their COVID-waiver extra seasons, along with defensive end Khris Bogle. Yet there are a few others who Tucker did not mention, among them linebacker Jacoby Windmon and running back Elijah Collins.

"Some of these guys are still deciding, and we've got a couple of guys that I think after they see what we did today are gonna really want to come back and be a part of it," Tucker said Wednesday. "So we'll have to see." Windmon could be the biggest question mark, after a stellar start that saw him earn three Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors and two national weekly awards at both defensive end and linebacker before he was suspended for the final four games for a postgame altercation in the Michigan Stadium tunnel. The former UNLV transfer is facing one count of misdemeanor assault and battery in Washtenaw County for the Oct. 29 incident. - Lansing State Journal

  2022 RAY GUY AWARD FINALIST (BEST COLLEGIATE PUNTER): Bryce Baringer, Michigan State,...Michigan State graduate senior Bryce Baringer has been named one of three finalists for the Ray Guy Award, the Augusta Sports Council announced on Tuesday. The award has been presented to the nation's best collegiate punter since 2000. The winner of the 2022 Ray Guy Award will be announced on The Home Depot College Football Awards show on Thursday, Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. on ESPN. Cincinnati's Mason Fletcher and Rutgers' Adam Korsak are the two other finalists. Earlier on Tuesday, Baringer became the first Spartan to win the Eddleman-Fields Big Ten Punter of the Year. He was also named first-team All-Big Ten by the coaches to become the first Spartan punter to earn first-team all-league honors since the late Mike Sadler (2012 and 2013).

Baringer leads the FBS in punting with a 49.0-yard average, which is currently an MSU single-season record and the second-best average in Big Ten history. Michigan State also ranks No. 1 in the FBS in net punting (45.5-yard average) as Baringer has only four touchbacks this season while placing 22 of his 50 punts (44 percent) inside the 20, including eight inside the 10. The sixth-year graduate senior also has a Big Ten-best 24 punts of 50-plus yards (48 percent), including 10 of 60-plus yards. - Michigan State Football

  12/07/22 - Jarek BroussardSr/2023, Michigan State, 5-08, 192 (DS#67 RB) + More +

  Jarek Broussard's stop with Michigan State football turned out to be a short one. The running back on Tuesday announced his intention to enter the NFL draft after one season with the Spartans. He had one season of eligibility remaining. The 5-foot-9, 195-pound Dallas native predominantly served as MSU's No. 2 running back behind fellow transfer Jalen Berger this fall. Broussard finished third on the team with 298 rushing yards on 63 attempts and scored three touchdowns in 12 games, adding four catches for 48 yards.

He posted season-highs of 81 rushing yards, 15 carries and two touchdowns in the Spartans' Sept. 10 win over Akron, then remained mostly dormant until getting 11 carries for 80 yards in a Nov. 12 win over Rutgers. Broussard arrived during the offseason as a transfer from Colorado, where he suffered ACL injuries that kept him off the field in 2018 and 2019. In the six-game 2020 season, Broussard won Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year honors with 895 rushing yards, an average of 162.6 per game that ranked third in the Football Bowl Subdivision, and five touchdowns. - Lansing State Journal

  12/04/22 - Jacob SladerSr/2023, Michigan State, 6-3, 285 (DS#36 DT) + More +

  Jacob Slade decided to bypass an extra year of eligibility to turn pro, and Michigan State football's 2023 roster is beginning to take shape. The senior defensive tackle announced via Twitter on Saturday his plans to enter the NFL draft instead of returning to the Spartans for an extra season of eligibility available to him via NCAA waiver for 2020's COVID-afflicted season. Slade redshirted at MSU in 2018 and played the next four seasons, finishing this year with 20 tackles - 3 1/2 for a loss, plus half a sack - in eight games. The 6-foot-4, 305-pound native of Lewis Center, Ohio, missed four games with a right leg injury. In playing all 13 games last season, Slade had 40 tackles and 2½ sacks among his five tackles for a loss while collapsing the pocket at the point of attack with his strength. He finished his MSU career by starting 26 of his 42 games and getting 88 tackles, 11.5 for a loss, and four sacks. - Lansing State Journal
