Three position battles going on during preseason camp in East Lansing

Michigan State has hit the ground running in the month of August, going full speed into preseason camp. Like every year, there will always be position battles during camp, and its something that fans should take note of.

While there isn’t a high profile battle like Thorne vs. Russo for the starting QB job like last year, there are still some notable positional battles taking place in East Lansing.

Take a look at three of the most notable position battles taking place in camp right now:

Trio of incoming MSU transfers officially start summer classes, join football program

Michigan State has officially welcomed three of their most touted incoming transfers into their football program

Michigan State has officially welcomed three of their most touted incoming transfers into their football program.

Chris Solari of The Detroit Free Press reported on Monday that tight end Daniel Barker (Illinois), running back Jarek Broussard (Colorado) and offensive lineman Brian Greene (Washington State) have all officially arrived to Michigan State. The three grad transfers have arrived with summer classes beginning this week.

In two years with Colorado, Broussard ran for 1,556 yards and seven touchdowns on 298 carries.

Daniel Barker comes from a fellow Big Ten school in Illinois. In his time with the Fighting Illini, Barker had 64 receptions for 827 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Greene was a two-year starter at Washington State at center, and was an All-Pac-12 Conference Honorable Mention.

All three of these incoming transfers missed spring practice but are expected to contend for starting roles this upcoming season. So it’s great to see each of these three players officially arrive to Michigan State and get started with the Spartans football program.

Michigan State football lands Washington State OL transfer

Michigan State has gone into the transfer portal once again to land a much needed piece to add to the offensive line

The NCAA recruiting dead period came to an end at the beginning of March, allowing for teams to host recruits on visits once again. Michigan State’s coaching staff took no time to get a top transfer target on campus immediately. Brian Greene, an offensive line transfer from Washington State, spent the first weekend of March on Michigan State’s campus and has now made the decision to commit to the Spartans!

Greene was a member of Washington State’s 2017 recruiting class and has been a part of the Cougars program for the last 5 seasons. Due to COVID, Greene will be given a sixth year of eligibility, where he will spend it in East Lansing.

Greene will provide the Spartans with some much-needed depth on the offensive line, and will give MSU the versatility to play both the guard and center spots.

Top available college football transfer portal centers

Top available college football transfer portal centers #GoBucks

With national signing day in the books, we are moving on to the buildup and excitement of the annual spring game at Ohio State. It was a fairly uninteresting week in Columbus, Ohio, as the traditional national signing day has lost most of its luster due to the early signing period. The other thing taking our attention off all the shenanigans was all the drama up north in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Those storylines are not being evaluated here though as we are continuing our focus on the transfer portal and the available talent that could potentially help the Buckeye football squad.

The offensive line was not a weakness, but it certainly had some issues that were larger than normal seasons and it would not be surprising for Ohio State to add some depth to the interior of this offensive line if it can figure out the numbers with available scholarships. The following are the top five available centers in the transfer portal.
