It’s going to be a really weird recruiting year, so strap in.
After a blazing month of April on the recruiting trail, Michigan State and Mel Tucker have their first setback with three-star defensive back Gabe Nealy rescinding his commitment to the Spartans.
I would like to Thank Coach Tucker and the MSU coaching staff for giving me the opportunity to live out my dream of playing Division I football, but at this time I will be de-committing from Michigan State University. NO LOVE LOST.
NO Interviews. Thank you.

Nealy–as prospects sometimes do–changed his social media pictures away from him in Michigan State gear and started tweeting social media graphics from other schools.
Crootin’.
Michigan State’s class is now down to 11 players. Three of those 11 still defensive backs. Prior to Nealy’s removal the class was ranked 31st in the country.
