  12/25/20 - Drew Jordan, rSr/2022, Michigan State, 6-2, 255 (DS#62 DE) + More +

  The Michigan State football team has seen 13 players enter the transfer portal this season. But the Spartans have also been active in recruiting players from the portal. And on Thursday, Mel Tucker secured his fourth incoming transfer player - and his second former 4-star recruit. Defensive end Drew Jordan, who played the last four years at Duke and was a starter the last three seasons, announced his transfer to MSU on Twitter. The 6-foot-3, 270-pound Jordan played in all but one game from 2017-2020 and has started nearly every game the past three years. This fall, Jordan finished with 35 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks and three fumble recoveries in 11 games as the Blue Devils went 2-9. - Lansing State Journal

  12/25/20 - Jude Pedrozo, Jr/2023, Michigan State, 6-1, 240 (DS#999 LS) + More +

  The roster turnover for Michigan State continued on Wednesday when sophomore long snapper Jude Pedrozo entered the NCAA transfer portal. Pedrozo became the 12th Spartan to enter the portal since the season began and the seventh since the season ended late last week when Michigan State's final scheduled game with Maryland was canceled because of COVID-19 issues in the Terrapins' program. Pedrozo played in all 13 games as a freshman in 2019, starting 12, and started all seven games this season. He was rated a five-star long-snapping prospect by Rubio Long Snapping coming out of Westerville (Ohio) South. - Detroit News

  Michigan State coach Mel Tucker continued to work the transfer portal on Saturday, securing the commitment of offensive lineman Jarrett Horst of Arkansas State. At 6-foot-6 and 304 pounds, Horst was third-team All-Sun Belt Conference in 2019 and entered 2020 on the Outland Trophy watch list while earning all-conference honors from Phil Steele and second team from Athlon Sports. Horst, a native of Middleton, Wis., made his commitment in a Twitter post on Saturday night, becoming the third player this week to announce he is transferring to Michigan State. He joins graduate transfer quarterback Anthony Russo of Temple and third-year sophomore running back Harold Joiner III from Auburn. High-profile programs like Texas, Oklahoma and Baylor had shown interest in Horst since he entered the transfer portal earlier this week. - Detroit News

  A former Auburn top running back recruit is headed to the Big Ten. Harold Joiner, a Mountain Brook native who left the Tigers program in early October, announced Thursday evening that he will transfer to Michigan State. Joiner, the No. 5 ranked running back nationally in the 2018 recruiting class according the 247Sports Composite rankings, was Auburn's fourth-highest ranked signee within that 2018 class. All four out of those top four - quarterback Joey Gatewood, wide receiver/defensive back Matthew Hill, defensive lineman Coynis Miller and Joiner - have now left the Tigers program. - Birmingham News

  2020 ALL-BIG TEN FOOTBALL SPECIAL TEAMS HONORABLE MENTION (COACHES): Kicker Matt Coghlin,...Coghlin was named the Big Ten Special Teams Co-Player of the Week after going 3-of-4 on field goals against No. 8 Northwestern, including the game-winner from 48 yards out with 3:35 left in the game that put MSU on top, 23-20, in the eventual 29-20 win.

  Running back Harold Joiner III, a redshirt sophomore at Auburn who entered the transfer portal in October, announced Thursday on Twitter he had committed to Michigan State. Joiner joins former Temple quarterback Anthony Russo, who committed to the Spartans on Wednesday. Joiner was one of the most sought-after running backs in the nation when he signed with Auburn as part of the 2018 class. The Birmingham, Ala., native was the No. 5 running back in the country but failed to gain a significant role with the Tigers. - Detroit News

  12/14/20 - *Jalen Nailor, rJr/2022, Michigan State, 5-11, 192 (DS#42 WR) + More +

  Jalen Nailor arrived at MSU as a gadget-play guy - a playmaker known only for his speed. Then he also became a deep threat, able to finish catches after burning by defenders. Now he's the entire package. His strong hands on a diving catch on an 11-yard out route, his savvy on the fade route for a touchdown, his move on a helpless Penn State defensive back to get open on a 45-yard TD pass - he looks like a true go-to receiver. There are other young weapons to like on MSU's offense. Tre'Von Morgan showed promise Saturday. Jayden Reed has been good most of the year. Jordon Simmons at running back, too. But Nailor, right now, looks like MSU's best mismatch and someone defenses are increasingly going to have to build game plans around. - Lansing State Journal

  12/09/20 - Jarek Broussard, Sr/2023, Michigan State, 5-08, 192 (DS#67 RB) + More +

  Going into fall camp, Jarek Broussard wasn't expected to even start for the Colorado Buffaloes. Four games into the season, the sophomore running back continues rewriting the record book. On Saturday night in a 24-13 win at Arizona, Broussard rushed for 301 yards on 25 carries. He didn't get in the end zone, but his big runs led to 17 points for the Buffs (4-0, 3-0 Pac-12). "I don't really trip on stuff like that," he said of not scoring, "because my job is really just to help the team win. If I have to go for 300 and no (touchdowns) and we win, I'm cool with it." Broussard posted just the fourth 300-yard game in CU history, and the first since Chris Brown had 309 at Kansas on Oct. 12, 2002.

"I am very proud of myself, I must say," said Broussard, who has battled back from two ACL injuries. "All of the hard work and all the hours of rehab, the cold nights in the hospital, it's all just paying off and it just feels real good." Broussard is the first player in CU history to rush for over 100 yards in the first four games of the season. His 733 yards are the most ever for a CU player through four games - topping the 727 by Rashaan Salaam during his Heisman Trophy-winning season in 1994. Ironically, Broussard's performance came on the four-year anniversary of Salaam's death. "It was really huge to do that," Broussard said. "Every day we walk in the Champions Center and walk past that trophy. It means a lot to be in that type of company with that sort of player." - Daily Camera

  Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson says running back Kenneth Walker III has informed the coaching staff that he plans to opt out of the remainder of the season. Walker is the Demon Deacons' No. 2 rusher at 579 yards and has 13 rushing touchdowns. His decision comes as Wake Forest prepares to play its first game in nearly a month this weekend at Louisville after being on hold due to coronavirus issues. Clawson said Tuesday some players had decided to opt out and later changed their minds. He said the team would be open to Walker returning if he changed his mind and went back through required safety protocols to rejoin the team. - AP College Football
