Former MSU football commit, AJ Dennis, in transfer portal, Spartans to be involved

Former Michigan State football commit Andrew Dennis is in transfer portal and the Spartans are expected to be involved.

Andrew ‘A.J.’ Dennis was a top-175 offensive line recruit in the 2024 recruiting class and was committed to Michigan State for a good portion of the cycle. After a coaching change in East Lansing, the Mount Pleasant native backed off of his Spartans commitment and chose to go to Illinois.

Now, after spending the spring with Illinois, Dennis has entered the transfer portal, citing a desire to “be closer to home.” This opens the door for the Spartans to get firmly involved to regain the talents of Dennis.

MSU commit, 4-star OL Andrew ‘AJ’ Dennis picks up offer from Penn State

One of the top commits in Michigan State’s 2024 class has picked up an offer from a rival Big Ten program

One of the top commits in Michigan State’s 2024 class has picked up an offer from a rival Big Ten program.

Four-star offensive lineman Andrew “AJ” Dennis has picked up an offer from Penn State, according to his X profile. He announced the scholarship offer from the Nittany Lions on Wednesday — only a few days after Michigan State suspended Mel Tucker indefinitely.

Dennis ranks as the No. 9 interior offensive lineman and No. 194 overall prospect in 247Sports’ rankings for the 2024 class. He’s also listed as the No. 4 player from Michigan.

Dennis has been committed to Michigan State since early April, but it’s no secret that he’ll be a guy getting some more attention now that Tucker’s future in the program is in doubt. This will be a commit Michigan State fans should closely monitor as losing him would be a big blow to the 2024 class.

Several prospects high on the Spartans could pull the trigger on a commitment with one more good visit to East Lansing.

Let’s take a look at three prospects who could commit to MSU soon:
