 Draft Scout College Football Player News: Michigan State

  08/02/22 - Jayden Reed, rSr/2023, Michigan State, 5-11, 191 (DS#17 WR) + More +

  In the back of his mind, Jayden Reed always figured he would be back for another season at Michigan State. But he didn't come to that decision before making a list of pros and cons, weighing whether to stay or go. NFL feedback didn't hurt, either. When he learned from the league's College Advisory Committee that - at best - the third round of the 2022 draft was his likely ceiling, he knew the timing wasn't right. "I heard a lot of different stuff, and I felt like if I was to come back, I would have a much better opportunity," Reed, a fifth-year senior receiver, said Wednesday at the Big Ten football media day event. "So I took advantage of that." His return wasn't solely dictated by potential personal advancement, though. While the Spartans had a sparkling 2021 season, going 11-2 and winning the Peach Bowl, Reed is seeking more. "I know I wanted to come back and compete for a Big Ten championship, a national title," he said. "I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of how good I can be. So I felt that I needed to return for one more year to prove myself."

Specifically, he wants to show NFL talent evaluators he heeded their words of advice. They wanted to see Reed improve his route-running ability: getting in and out of routes - especially at the top - and changing their tempo. "That can really change the game for me," he said. "It scares me," he said, thinking back on his draft feedback, "to make me work harder and be better, so I'm not in that undrafted range." - Lansing State Journal

  2022 PRESEASON OUTLAND TROPHY WATCHLIST: DT Jacob Slade, Michigan State,...Michigan State fifth-year senior defensive tackle Jacob Slade has been named to the Outland Trophy Watch List, which is awarded annually to the nation's top interior lineman. Earlier this summer, Slade was named a second-team preseason All-American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation. Slade enters the 2022 season with 68 tackles, 8.0 TFLs and 3.5 sacks in 34 career games, including 19 starts. - Michigan State Football

  2022 PRESEASON BRONKO NAGURSKI TROPHY WATCHLIST: S Xavier Henderson, Michigan State,...Henderson, who was named a game captain for all 13 games last season and helped lead MSU to an 11-2 record and a New Year's Six bowl win over No. 12 Pittsburgh in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, was a third-team All-Big Ten selection by the media after tying for the team lead with a career-high 96 tackles, including a career-best 10 tackles for loss and three sacks. His 96 stops ranked tied for 11th most in the Big Ten.

Henderson recorded a TFL in nine games with a career-high two in the season opener at Northwestern. He also had a career-high 17 tackles vs. Nebraska, the most by a Spartan since 2016. The Reynoldsburg, Ohio, native tallied 41 stops during his third season at MSU in a shortened seven-game schedule in 2020 and ranked second on the team with 83 tackles as a sophomore in 2019, including two interceptions and five pass break-ups. As a true freshman in 2018, he primarily played on special teams, collecting 15 tackles. - Michigan State Football

  Jayden Reed's expectations for Michigan State football's wide receiver room in 2022 that he's putting it above any other in the Big Ten including Ohio State. "We're going to be a lot better than people think we are... I think we're going to be the best receiving room in the Big Ten," Reed said at Big Ten media days Wednesday. Despite losing Jalen Nailor to the NFL, Reed, a third-year wide receiver for the Spartans after transferring from Western Michigan, said Keon Coleman, Tre Mosely and Germie Bernard will pick up the slack for Michigan State. "It just remains to be seen," Reed added.

Ohio State may have something to say about that heading into the 2022 season. Despite losing both Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson, who each became first-round NFL draft picks, wide receiver coach Brian Hartline's room returns its leading receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who led the team with 95 catches and 1,606 receiving yards in 2022. Reed was Michigan State's only 1,000-yard receiver last season, compared to Ohio State's two: Wilson and Smith-Njigba. The Spartans' passing game recorded only 21 passing touchdowns to wide receivers compared to the Buckeyes' 38. - Columbus Dispatch

  Michigan State's tight end depth recently suffered a loss. Adam Berghorst, who has played in 18 games the past three seasons, left the football program to focus on his baseball career. But just because Berghorst's attention has turned toward the diamond, MSU football coach Mel Tucker isn't closing the door on a potential return. "I love the kid," Tucker said Wednesday during the Big Ten football media day event at Lucas Oil Stadium. "We need all the help we can get, (so) if he ever wanted to come back, I'd be happy to talk to him about it." The Texas Rangers selected Berghorst in the 14th round of the 2019 MLB Draft. Berghorst eschewed jumping to the pros immediately after high school, however, instead enrolling at Michigan State.

This summer, he is playing for the Battle Creek Battle Jacks, a team comprised of college players in the Northwoods League. Berghorst joined the Spartans' football program as a defensive end - and one of the top prospects in Michigan, at that. The Detroit News (No. 2), ESPN.com (No. 2) Rivals (No. 2) and 247Sports (No. 5) had Berghorst listed among the top-five defensive ends in the state in the 2019 class. But his stint on defense was short-lived. Midway through the 2019 season, he moved to tight end where he remained for the rest of his college football career. He mainly played in a reserve role and on special teams the past three years, but was expected to continue to provide depth at a spot that also includes Tyler Hunt, Malik Carr, Daniel Barker, Evan Morris, Powers Warren, Jackson Morse, Jack Nickel and Michael Masunas. - Lansing State Journal

Among those contests included a record-setting 301-yard rushing performance in a 24-13 win over Arizona.
