Michigan State football offered New Mexico running back transfer Eli Sanders on Saturday, and now, there will be a quick turnaround to get the prospect on campus.

Sanders will be officially visiting Michigan State from Dec. 9 to 10.

In 2024, Sanders had an elite year with the Lobos, rushing the ball for 1,063 yards and 9 touchdowns on 142 carries, a 7.2 yards per attempt average.

Prior to New Mexico, Sanders spent his first three seasons at Iowa State where he had 158 rushing attempts for 703 yards and 4 touchdowns.
