Former Michigan State cornerback projected to transfer to Miami

A new report has Charles Brantley projected to go to Miami.

This is the third time that Michigan State cornerback Charles Brantley has entered the transfer portal, and this time it appears it will be for good.

On3 released a new projection for Brantley’s transfer destination on Saturday, and they have him slated to go down south to Florida to play for Miami.

This move would make some sense as Brantley is from Florida.

Matt Zenitz of 247Sports is reporting that Brantley will visit Ole Miss on Monday. Brantley entered the transfer portal last week and is considered on of the top cornerbacks looking for a new home during this transfer portal period.

Brantley has reportedly been in contact with more than 30 programs since he entered the portal. Could Ole Miss be the ultimate winner of his commitment? We should know soon.

Over 30 teams have contacted Charles Brantley in transfer portal

Charles Brantley has a plethora of suitors in the transfer portal

Michigan State football took one of their first major losses of the transfer portal window when cornerback Charles Brantley entered the transfer portal for the third time in his career.

This time, it doesn’t appear that the Spartans want to play the game, and it will officially be the parting of ways between the two parties.

Since entering the portal, it was revealed by On3’s Hayes Fawcett that Brantley has heard from a plethora of high value suitors.

It would make sense if Brantley followed Demetrice Martin to UCLA, but the Bruins will have far more competition for the former Spartan.

Veteran Michigan State football cornerback enters transfer portal

A veteran MSU cornerback has entered the portal

For the third time in his career, veteran Michigan State football cornerback Charles Brantley has entered the transfer portal.

Brantley, a redshirt junior, had his best year at MSU this past season before suffering a season-ending injury. He earned an honorable mention on the All-Big Ten team for his strong play.

While most of the transfers have not surprised me thus far, this one was a little more surprising just because of how well Brantley played under this coaching staff this season.

Jonathan Smith updates two injured MSU defensive backs

Jonathan Smith gives an update on Charles Brantley and Malik Spencer

Michigan State football was missing Charles Brantley and Malik Spencer against Illinois on Saturday afternoon, and their absences were more than noted.

The lack of depth, paired with the injuries, have shown a glaring weakness for the Spartans in their secondary.

After the loss to Illinois, MSU head coach Jonathan smith updated the status on the two key defensive backs, sharing that they are not close to returning and that they are doubtful to return over the final two games.

MSU is going to have to find a way to be effective defensively in the secondary while missing these two key pieces.
