One of the top players from the state of Michigan in the 2023 class is officially heading to East Lansing, Mich.
Four-star defensive lineman Jalen Thompson has long been pegged by recruiting insiders to end up as a Spartan and on Monday he made it official by announcing his commitment to Michigan State. Thompson chose Michigan State over Ohio State, Penn State, Cincinnati and Pitt.
